You're welcome!
I probably incurred in a double installation of MiKTeX (Administrator and
User), when I ran MiKTeX update as administrator it doesn't update things
loaded as user (or something like that, I'm not an expert).
Recently I had a problem with a not-updated version of a package, which
instead I thought to be updated since I had run MiKTeK update.
To solve that I uninstalled the multi-user and installed the one-user
version of MiKTeK, after that also the problem with LyX was solved.
At the end of the day, the problem was in my MiKTeX installation, non in
LyX.
Thank you for your interest.
Ciao!

Just for info: I've uninstalled and reinstalled MiKTeX and now everything
is working correctly.

This is strange. If you want you could try out whether the error happens as 
well if you start platex.exe manually. If yes, then it is definitely a 
MikTeX problwem, if not, then there must be some interaction with LyX which 
I do not understand.

 Hi LyX developers,

 I've installed LyX 2.2.0 on Windows 10 (distribution for LaTeX: MiKTeX
 2.9).
 When I use "Tools > Reconfigure" I get this error:
 Immagine incorporata 2
 I try to translate in English: "platex.exe - Impossible to find an
 entry point ... omissis ... of the process in the dynamic link
 library C:\Program Files\MikTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\platex.exe".

 LyX 2.1.4. doesn't show this error.

 Attached you find the configure.log of the both versions.

 Ciao!

I've run a MikTeX update meanwhile.

The exact sequence of what i've done is:
- install LyX 2.2.0
(after some days)
- run MiKTeX update
- reconfigure LyX 2.2.0

The LyX configuration script does not know that:-) It checks for many
converters and adds them to the configuration. Fortunately the message box
is only annyoing, it is correctly detected that platex is not usable, and
the rest of the configuration looks fine from the log.


I get this warning too and have for the last month or so -- most
reconfigures, but not all. I find if I click OK, the message vanishes
and reconfigure proceeds successfully. The warning appeared after a
flurry of MiKTeX updates.

This warning means a broken miktex installation. Please report that to
miktex, if it installs platex.exe then it should also install the needed
dependencies (most likely a dll is missing).


Georg

What puzzled (& puzzles) me is that the warning doesn't arise with 
2.1.4, nor when 2.2.0 is installed.

The LyX configuration script does not know that:-) It checks for many 
converters and adds them to the configuration. Fortunately the message box 
is only annyoing, it is correctly detected that platex is not usable, and 
the rest of the configuration looks fine from the log.

This warning means a broken miktex installation. Please report that to 
miktex, if it installs platex.exe then it should also install the needed 
dependencies (most likely a dll is missing).
