uiucthesis layout help

[Stephen Anthony]

I am new to LATEX/LYX, and I am interested in trying it out for my 
thesis. I have found the LATEX style and class for my thesis 
(http://physics.illinois.edu/grad/thesis-templates.asp). They appear to 
be appropriately installed, I can see them both in MiKTeX 2.8 and they 
also appear in LYX in Tools:TeX Information.

Where I seem to be running into problems is with the Layout file. I have 
tried following the instructions in Help:Customization regarding 
creating a new layout file, and haven't managed to get it to work. When 
I go to Document:Settings:Document Class, uiucthesis does not appear. 
When I try "Local Layout" there, it tells me "Unable to read local 
layout file". Can someone either generate a layout for me from the 
uiucthesis2009 class/style provided, or help me figure out how to do 
that properly myself?

Windows XP Pro
LyX 1.6.5
MikTeX 2.8

Thanks,

Stephen Anthony
