Hi,


I just downloaded and installed lyx for windows:


ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-143-5.exe


 


Prior to this, I had no earlier latex related software
installed. I selected all the default answers during the installation.  I 
installed on my windows XP latest and
greatest.


 


After the fresh installation, when I run Lyx, I selected
help->tutorial and was able to view the dvi for this without difficulty.


 


I then tried help->user’s guide and I get the error:


 


“Using the default document class, because the class scrbook
is unknown”


I then get a window full of multiple “Unknown layout” error
messages, each one referring to a particular layout.  The title of this window 
is “LyX: Parse errors”


And also, at the top of the User’s guide, there is a big
yellow message saying:


“To export this document as pdf, ps or dvi, the
LaTeX-package hyperref has to be installed. 
This package should be part of all popular LaTeX-distributions”


 


Any help would be greatly received.  I have tried many things so far, including
running: tools->reconfigure


 


But, I am confused as to why I am doing this, since during
the installation, I should surely have got all the correct dependencies that
are required? – Especially since I followed accepted all defaults…


 


Any help greatly received for a LyX newbie.  It looks like a great piece of 
kit. I am
just miffed that it won’t work “out of the box” when using default settings.  


TIA,


Yanni.
