You could put LyX in the Path. I don't think that is the

Do you have a CYGWIN environment variable such as CYGWIN=ntsec?
If so, remove it, then try again. Right-click on My Computer ->
Properties -> Advanced -> Environment variables
check on user and system for an environment variable that
has cygwin in the specification. This can happen if someone
else has used the computer besides you.
There are several environmental variables besides the Path
displayed under Environmental variables. Do you see
Cygwin mentioned? How large is your msys-1.0.dll file?
791,368 new-msys-1.0.dll ?

The Msys directory is installed when you download and
install Msys. The Winlyxinstaller doesn't download
Msys, it includes the needed files. So you don't have
an Msys directory. When I wrote about the Msys directory
I wasn't sure at that time you didn't have that directory.
I checked my system and I did not find another sh.exe or sed.exe.
But I have found a cygwin1.dll, which was installed with Acronis (a disk
imaging software). Renaming this file does not change the situation,when
I start sh.exe.
There is no CYGWIN EnvVar on my system, neither in my enviroment nor in
the system environment.
The msys-dll installed with lyx has the following details
16.03.2004 13:32 789.320 msys-1.0.dll
I just installed msys and started sh.exe in the msys\1.0\bin directory
and it shows exactly the same error message:
P:\Utility\Latex\msys\1.0\bin>sh
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x715B0000, RegionSize 0x4D0000, State
0x10000
P:\Utility\Latex\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap, Win32 error 6
In the msys-installation ths msys-dll shows the same details as the on
in the lyx installation (as mentioned above).
When I examine the dependencies of sh.exe only msys-1.0.dll,
kernel32.dll and user32.dll are shown.
