Hey Paul! Thanks fot the effort, but I've tried many ways to solve it, and inside this ways was each one you suggest me. I formated the partition where Windows was, and remove all python, lyx and personal files, and the problem is the same.
I couldn't find any posts for this ["As for the second, it has been discussed on the list several times. Have a look at the archives."] I downloaded many times to be sure the files was ok. I tried reinstall many versions of Lyx, and the problem persists. I installed the last version of python to try to do a different thing to make it work, but unsuccessful as well. I have many "*.lyx" projects, but no software to open it. I need to install Lyx and can't... What can I do now? Please help me! Thanks in advance! Douglas "Paul A.

The errors are likely to be related: if Python is broken, the installation script is probably doomed, hence the null textclass.lst file. As Richard said, w9xpopen.exe is a Python file. (Apparently Jasc uses a file of the same name in Paint Shop Pro, but the bit about "shell or platform" coupled with the fact that LyX uses Python and not PSP strongly suggests Python here.) Googling around indicates that Python uses w9xpopen.exe on Win 95/98 systems. You indicated you are using XP SP2, so you don't need that file. (I have both a full installation of Python 2.3 and the 'thin' installation that LyX does on its own, and neither has that file.) Any chance you upgraded this machine from 9x to XP? If you have Python installed someplace, you might try uninstalling it (or at least moving it off the Windows command path momentarily) and see if that cures the bug. It might also be a good idea to uninstall any LyX installations, and delete the user data folder(s) they created. Then reinstall LyX, cross fingers and hope for the best. If you're not sure about whether there is a "ghost" installation of Python floating around, you could try searching the entire hard drive for python*.exe. That should (eventually) point to any and all Python installations. /Paul __________________________________________________ Fale com seus amigos de graça com o novo Yahoo!
