Hi
Has anyone solved the "textclasses not found" issue with the windows
install?
I'm not entirely sure this is one issue -- I think there may be multiple
possible errors leading to the same symptom.
I've read on the net it has something to do with the userdir. I tried
the "-userdir xxxxx" option (with classic LyX install), and got it to
run, although some packages seemed to be missing.
By packages, do you mean helper programs (ImageMagick, Ghostscript, ...)
or do you mean LaTeX classes? If the latter, I'm not sure switching
installers is necessary; MikTeX should be able to download any missing
bits you need.
I really wanted to
run the alternative install (LyXWinInstaller), but that never seemed
to work, even with the "-userdir"option or deleting the "application
data\lyx*" folder. I have my "My documents" folder on 'n different
drive, but my "documents and setting\user" folder still resides on
the C-drive with winXP.
It should not matter where "My Documents" lives. Have you tried
deleting any and all LyX installations (including the stuff under Docs
and Settings) and rerunning LyXWinInstaller? Assuming the answer is yes
(and it did not generate textclass.lst, etc.), did you try running the
configuration script manually (open a DOS prompt, park in Documents and
Settings\your name here\Application Data, and run '<path to
python>python.exe <path to LyX>\Resources\configure.py')?
