For me, I installed cygwin and ran it from a shell.

I've installed Python 2.5 and elyxer (along with LyX 1.6.1) under Windows XP.
What, exactly is the command to type just to try what is described in the docs:
cd lyx16\elyxer\docs
..\elyxer userguide.lyx userguide.html
Of course that won't work in Windows, since Windows doesn't know that elyxer is
a python script. So I did two things: First, I changed the name from "elyxer"
to "elyxer.py". And second, I tried this command:
python -c ../elyxer.py userguide.lyx userguide.html
When Python starts, I get error message:
File "<string>", line 1
../elyxer.py
^
(I tried using both the Windows backward slash \ and the *nix forward slash/
but neither works.)
Once again, I'm stymied by something allegedly ported from *nix to Windows and
either not working as it should or else not documented correctly.
What's the fix (beside fixing me_?
