Possible - two PCs having MikTex 2.8 and Lyx 1.6.4 - working, one migrated
from 2.7 to 2.8

First: Did you removed you personalized LyX folder where some setting are
stored? They are not removed when you uninstall LyX... I think similar issue
is with MikTeX, but this does seem to break anything.

Very good.

What for?

Does the second one is able to install MikTex itself?

Usage on Texlive on window is deprecated. Please concentrate on MikTeX. You
problem is probably cause by fact you previously have MikTex 2.7 on your
computer and your personal LyX setting points to wrong directories. I had
that issue once. Sometime manual running of configuration script is helpful
as it drops error messages what could not be find.
Try to:
A. Chek you paths in LyX settings.
or
B. Remove you personalized lyx directory from your users profile directory
