anyway - this problem is solved when I install not for all user, but using the "JUST
FOR ME" option on Miktex and Lyx installer! Thanks a lot about the effort to help
me!
Reinstalling just for a single user changes the order in which some
things show up on the system command path: I think the all-users
command path precedes the single user command path. So if there were
Python installations, that could change which was being used.
I hate to harp on this, but I'm worried it might resurface at some
point. In an earlier post you had the following:
C:\Python20>python.exe c:\LyX14\Resources\configure.py
If you don't have any Python other than what LyX installs, what's in the
C:\Python20 directory?? Note that LyX installs the bundled Python in
c:\LyX14\python, not in C:\Python20.
Well, then I could install both the 1.4 and 1.5 versions of Lyx, but now the
problem is that all the classes (including the common "Article") is unavaliable.
What happened?
I have not looked at 1.5, so I'll stick to 1.4 here. I take it LyX
starts properly? (Usually when it can't find any classes, it's because
textclass.lst has length zero, and LyX promptly exits.) What does Help
-> LaTeX Configuration show in section 1 for the LaTeX version (assuming
you can even open that document -- you may not be able to if there are
no classes).
All the classes being unavailable usually means that the configuration
script failed to find a working version of MikTeX. Is MikTeX on your
command path? If you run "latex --version" from a command prompt, what
do you get?
Thanks again, but I'm almost desisting of using Lyx...
It is so boring to try and try and try!
Fortunately, once you get it up and running, you won't have to repeat
this ... if you never, ever upgrade again. ;-)
And I'm boring you...
Not at all.

Well, that's true. (I have to say that in case my dean has slipped some
spyware onto my machine.)
