I use Windows Vista and the MikTek distribution for Latex.
I download the zip-file, which is opened in windows explorer. I save the
files in the same folder as other TeX packages.
I then run LyX (and/or TeX). Neither of them finds the sty-file.
One of the files is caption.dtx. I have pasted the content of it in a
TeX-file and ran it (in TeXnicenter). I always encounter this same error.

The preferred way to install the caption package would be to use the
MiKTeX package browser ("Browse Packages") to download and install it.
I suspect the problem right now is that you failed to update the LaTeX
file name database after installing. You can do that by running
MiKTeX's Settings application and clicking "Refresh FNDB". (The package
browser does this for you.)
