Hei!
Are you using version 1.3.6? If not, I recommend you use this version.
it comes with ans installer, so life is easier. You can get it from here
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre
If you are already using the installer for version 1.3.6, be sure it is
the last version (i.e. v.12). The problem you mentioned was presnet in a
previous version of the installer, but it should be solved in v.12.
Anyway, be sure you have Miktex installed and that you have also
installed all your latex class files. Then open Lyx and run
Edit->Reconfigure
Hope it helps!

I think I followed the instruction on the wiki exactly. I installed all
sorts of things one by one and it all looked OK. then at the first
attempt to run lyx I got this error message:
LyX wasn’t able to find any layout description
Check the contents of teh file “textclass.lst”
Sorry, has to exit
The file exists, and isn't empty, and is the file the installation made,
and is in c:\lyx\lyx\bin.
