Hello,
It is my first time to use Lyx and LaTex.
I have installed MikTex 2.9 through ProTex before. Then I installed Lyx
2.1.4 bundle version and during the installing process, it reminded me to
update MikTex's package, and I updated it with MikTeX Package Manager
through the internet.
When I opened Lyx, error message showed as:
LyX: No textclass is found. ····And it let me to choose from three choices,
"Reconfigure", "Without LaTeX" and "Continue".
I chose Reconfigure and LyX opened, but no document classes are available.
When I attempt to reconfigure LyX, I get an error message:
The system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX
may not be able to work properly. Please reconfigure again if needed.
And the error log showed in the messsage pane was:
