However, I believe the root of these errors can be related to this: TextClassList::Read: no textclasses found!.
Looking at c:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\lyx15\ and I found that these packages.lst and texclass.lst have size of zero in byte. That's wrong.. Anyway, someone here please take a look at this error and fix it. Thank Mr. Lounsbury for his workarounds and I am sure going to try it though. Thank you.
