Can someone help with this error please?
First check that you have a folder C:\Program Files\Lyx16\bin\Lib, and
that it contains (among many files) os.py and os.pyc. LyX installs a
version of Python (scripting language) in its bin directory. Apparently
Python is at least partly installed (else the configuration script would
not have gotten as far as it did), but it's claiming not to be able to
find the 'os' module (os.pyc). So one possibility is that the installer
somehow failed to install all necessary files.
