I would love to help but I am not in a position, or experienced enough,
to
compile from scratch - sorry.
You don't need to. You need only modify the file
C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx\scripts\lyxpreview2ppm.py
by hand (using your favourite editor), replacing the line that is
prefixed
with a '-' character with those prefixed with a '+'. Removing that '+' of
course ;-)
The file in question is a Python script that is processed by python.exe
on the
fly. No compilation necessary.
However this does sound like it could be the route of the problem.
So test it.

Ok sorry for my ignorance of how to use the diff. I have now made the
changes and it does indeed solve the problem.
Instant Preview now works with the installation at C:\Program Files\Lyx
(the default)
