Run it from a console, the popup is not enough informative. I don't think the cmd workaround is needed anymore if you patch the *.py files of the lyx-1.4 distribution in C:/Program Files/LyX/resources/lyx2lyx: lyx-1.3.6 will be able to read the converted files. I edited the tex2lyx wiki page in that line. However tex2lyx needs the other LyX-1.4 files, so copying tex2lyx in C:/Program Files/LyX/bin remains hazardous (it worked for me on some layouts, but this is not a general rule). So editing the PATH variable remains necessary. Then a MinGW console is your friend :-) -- Jean-Pierre
