Also, you might check try converting a file manually on the Vista box,

where doc.lyx is the old document. If it works, the converted file will
be written on screen.
This doesn't work either. I get the following error message:

In the bin directory is a python26.dll file.
Oh -- I just saw that I have a full Python installed on the WinXP
machine (I didn't realize that, sorry...). It's Python 2.5.1
Any ideas? Should I try to install Python on Vista and try to convert
from LyX 1.5 to 1.6 again?
That would likely work. Alternatively, you might install the M$ VC++
redistributable package
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=de)
and see if that does the trick. I googled the side-by-side
configuration error message (rather unusual, which is fortunate from a
search standpoint), and it appears to occur in other contexts, the
common theme being that some piece of software is missing.
HTH,
