Hi, I've Googled the archives for this problem, but the only time it came up was when the file was already open in Acrobat Reader, which has a write lock on the output file, so of course pdflatex fails.
It also happens to me when I'm using pdflatex and an error in the source files causes pdflatex to blow up. When I run latex (typically with View->DVI), LyX is pretty reliable at recognizing that a LaTeX error has occurred and flagging it, but when I use pdflatex, LyX is somewhat less reliable about spotting errors.
Anyway, I've tried File > Export > PDF/PDF (pdflatex)/DVI, but it always gives me the error "Resulting file is empty". I have miktex installed, and the previous intallation of LyX (the unofficial LyX-win32 1.3.5) worked fine.
That suggests a configuration problem, but not what the problem might be.
I can, however, export to LaTeX. Running pdflatex from cmd works, and I've ensured that C:\texmf\miktex\bin is in the path_prefix. Same errors when I use View menu. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.
When you get the empty file message, does the LaTeX log file (View->LaTeX log file) indicate any errors?
