I use lyx port in a windows xp.

Finally today I have found that executing configure.bat and then configure in a console of windows, lyx reconfigure its latex entry (which has let me use beamer, i.e.)
Do you people know if it is really a bug for windows port? I mean, I'm starting to be a lyx apostle, but if, hum, a luser has to do a lot of tricks like the one I mentioned above, it sounds to be hard to achieve conversions.
You might have a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/WindowsSetup. There are known problems with running the configuration script on Windows. They have nothing to do with LyX per se. Part of the problem is that the native Windows port ships with older versions of some Unix utilities (sed being a prime culprit) that don't work as expected with the configuration scripts. I also discovered that my installation was missing a couple of files that ship with LyX. Most if not all of this is documented on the Wiki.
