I just downloaded LyX for Windows 1.4.3-5 and I get this persistent
error that makes the program completely unusable. It says that no
textclasses are found. So I look at the mailing list archives, which
state that I should blow away my Application Data LyX directory and
regenerate it. I do so, and it tells me that
tex\latex\IEEEtran\IEEEtran.cls is missing and that I should install
it. I do so. I get the same error.
I go through this several times, on two different machines. Same
error. LyX is unusable and I can't even get a menu up so that I can
reconfigure it. Any ideas? I'm about to throw my machine against
the wall and call it a night ...
The textclass.lst error seems to crop up for various reasons. Is your
home directory on a remote server? (If you're not sure, open a DOS
windows and type 'set h' to see where HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are set.)
Manual reconfigure (as suggested by Nicolás) is also worth a try.
I've had less than stellar luck throwing machines against walls (and I
haven't had an opportunity to chuck one at Bill Gates).
