I've got exportation issues. I couldn't export to HTML or .odt, only to .tex or LaTeX. I'm running Lyx on WinXP. I was told, that Lyx doesn't like spaces

The Windows version of LyX does a good job (perhaps not perfect, but close) of dealing with spaces in paths. I have it installed under C:\Program Files with no problems.

and as it was installed to the "Program Files" folder, I
thought that's the problem, and tried to reinstall into another folder. Now
Lyx doesn't start, instead it gives an error message:

"LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found!"

(I've installed MikTex and ImageMagic, which came bundled)


1. Go to wherever you have your LyX user directory (default should be C:\Documents and Settings\<your id>\Application Data\LyX1.4.x) and delete everything there. Then try to start LyX again and see if you get the same error.

2. If so, open a DOS window in the parent of the user directory (C:\Documents and Settings\<your id>\Application Data if you're sticking to the default), and run

<path to LyX>\python\python.exe <path to LyX>\Resources\configure.py

(and cross your fingers). If that doesn't work, post the output (from the DOS window) here for further diagnosis.
