Hi,
I am using LyX 1.5.3 on Windows XP. My problem is that I cannot
import any LaTeX files. I get the following error message: An error
occurred whilst running tex2lyx -f "foo.tex" "foo.lyx"
However, with LyX 1.4.4 on the same computer I can import the same
file without any problems.
With LyX 1.4.4 I use MikTeX 2.5, and for LyX 1.5.3 I have tried both
MiKTeX 2.5 and MiKTeX 2.7, with the same problem for both versions.
Bug report here: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4503
Any hints on what to do?

I grabbed the file from the bug report that you said 1.4.4 could import
but 1.5.3 could not. On my box (LyX 1.5.3, XP Home), I can import it
(using File -> Import -> LaTeX (plain). I get a bunch of warnings about
unrecognized commands and such (presumably because I'm not designating a
document class), but I do not get the "something went wrong" error you
encountered.
I repeated the conversion from the command prompt and captured the
output from the error stream. Again, it produced a loadable (if not
necessarily correct) LyX file.
