Hello Matej,

I have been using the native port of Lyx, version 1.3.2 and found that the
only way to get my thesis.cls file to be recognize was to find the .lyx
folder it created, under my Windows login name.

I use Windows 2000 as the administrator (bad habit, I know), and in the
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator folder, I found a .lyx folder.  If
you wish to make the hollywood class visible for all users, I believe the
more general approach is more suited, but it seems something hardcoded in
the port does not work.

Moving my thesis.layout file to this folder made it discoverable by the
Reconfigure script.

You should try this, I went through a lot of gried using the cygwin version
before, as it seemed to not find the file.

Good luck, and contact me offline (off-list) for more details, if you wish

What happens when you move hollywood.cls somewhere to the TeXMF
tree (e.g., c:\program files\TeXLive\texmf-local\tex\latex, if
your TeX distribution is TeXLive), refresh kpsepath database
(there is a Start-menu item for it in TeXLive), and then run
kpsewhich hollywood.cls in DOS/Shell window?

If it finds hollywood.cls, you are half way through. Start LyX
and run Edit/Reconfigure. Then restart LyX and File/New from
Template. Select hollywood.lyx as a template. Save under the new
name and you are all set!

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying
I approved of it.
