Dear Rubin
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I am sorry for the delayed response
to your email. I went step by step according to your suggestions.
1. I could not find any configure.log file under C:\users\...\Roaming\LyX 2.0.
There was only one folder named "cache" and a file outside the folder named
"session".
2.I tried to run configuration script in DOS windows: C:\Program
Files(x86)\LyX20\Python\Python.exe , this one did not show any error. But when
I ran the other one with configure.py it showed the following messages:
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.0\Resources\configure.py", line 11, in ,
<module>
import sys, os, re , shutil, glob, logging, subprocess
File "C:\python25\lib\subprocess.py", line375, in<module>
import threading
File "C:\python25\lib\threading.py", line 13, in <module>
from collections import deque
Import error: No module named collections
I again apologize for being little late to reply to the group and rubin.
I really appreciate your help and time.
Thank you very much.
Regards
Sharif

Subject: Re: Document class missing after installation
Y.A.,
LyX creates a user directory for you, where it stores your
preferences and other "local" files. On my Windows 7 partition, the
user directory is C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0. If you have
trouble finding it, Help > About LyX should point you to it.
In that directory, there should be a text file named configure.log.
(If not, keep reading, I'll get to that case.) It's generated when
the Python configuration script runs. (This is script is both run at
installation and when you click Tools > Reconfigure in LyX.) In
it, you should see lines like the following:
INFO: checking for a Latex2e program...
INFO: +checking for "latex"... yes
INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program...
INFO: +checking for "pplatex"... yes
and eventually
INFO: checking for the pdflatex program...
INFO: +checking for "pdflatex"... yes
If they read "no", it means LyX failed to detect MiKTeX for some
reason. I've seen this happen when the user had Cygwin installed,
for instance. I don't know if it is still true, but Cygwin used to
come with a broken copy of LaTeX, and if Cygwin was in front of
MiKTeX on the system command path, LyX would test the Cygwin version
of latex.exe and conclude that there was no working LaTeX compiler
on the system.
If the log shows that LyX found MiKTeX ('yes' responses), go back to
a DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (if the article class
is "missing" according to LyX) and make sure that MiKTeX finds it.
If that looks correct, or if the log file is missing, then I suggest
you cd to your LyX user directory and run the configuration script
in a DOS window. The command line will look something like the
following (allowing for the possibility that your installation path
is different):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files
(x86)\LyX20\Resources\configure.py"
See if any error messages appear.
