--> Uninstall / Alt-Install Done: when I start Lyx now I get an CMD box for

Lyx: Done!"
Wired, obviously cmd.exe exists in windows/system32/ and MikTex 2.9 was
installed, too. Any ideas?
This means that latex wasn't found. Have you installed MiKTeX 2.9 separately before installing LyX?
If so, then you suffer from one of the older MiKTeX 2.9 bugs. In this case
1. uninstall LyX _completely_
2. uninstall MiKTeX _completely_
3. check the Windows registy that there are no leftovers from MiKTeX (do this only if you know how
to do that)
4. delete the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\lyx16
5. reinstall LyX using the complete version of my installer
This installs MiKTeX together with LyX. The installed MiKTeX 2.9 is the latest one where all known
installation bugs have been fixed.
Please report back if this now works for you.
