Sounds like a Python config problem. You have installed Python manually, so I guess that you need
Python for other programs than LyX too, right? Do the other programs work for you?
I cannot recall why I installed it manually, and I don't use it on a
regular basis.
OK, then I recommend to uninstall Python. Afterwards uninstall LyX and reinstall it again using my
installer (that sets up Python in a condensed form especially for LyX).
When you open LyX and use the menu Tools->Reconfigure, does this work?

That's exactly what does not work.
OK, I thought you only called configure.py via the console. So the only solution I see is to repair
your Python installation be reinstalling, see above.
The strange thing is, that it had worked before. I remember now that I
changed something in the Preferences->Paths->Path prefix. There were
links to directories that don't exist any longer, some with '1.6.0beta4'
in it IIRC. I altered them, if I recall it right, to '1.6.2', which is
the correct path. I should also mention that I used your update
installer.
The beta version of LyX 1.6.0 were buggy and also my installers for these versions had some bugs. So
this might be the problem. This wouldn't be a surprise, since beta versions are for testing and
finding bugs.
