On the Vista machine, I had no Python installed and the lyx2lyx script failed. I now installed Microsoft's VC++ redistributable package, as suggested by Paul Rubin, and now the lyx2lyx script works. So I think there is a problem with the python.exe and/or python26.dll which are in the bin directory of LyX 1.6.
But I also had no Python installed on this Vista machine, only installed LyX using my installer and it worked. I also got feedback that it works for others too.
