Hello, I have a very similar problem at the moment, but I'm afraid the solution specified in this thread doesn't work for me. My setup is: 1. I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3, MikTeX 2.8 and Lyx 2.0. 2. As a backend to biblatex I use biber. I have tried to use a simple .bib file with one entry located at C:\Test\. I have followed the instructions for using biblatex in the LyX wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#toc2). When I try to compile a file, the resulting PDF shows no bibliography and the cites are not formatted according by the options set in the preamble, but are simply the key printed in bold. I have tried out several things to make it work, but they all failed. Among them are: 1. Switching between \bibliography and \addbibresource. 2. Using "/" slashes and using "\" slashes. When using "/" slashes, the PDF output only shows the keys as explained above, when using "\" slashes LaTeX seems to interpret them as commands and shows an error message. Putting the path in quotes or in \string" doesn't change that. 3. Following the reccomendation in the wiki I tried to setup a texmf order in C:\texmf to put my .bib-file, but MikTeX won't accept it as a rootfile, showing an error message: "MiKTeX Problem Report Message: Not a TDS-compliant root directory.

Like any beginner I am encountering a load of problems, so I hope you will be lenient towards me if I did make some very silly mistake or if I have difficulties understanding something. Thank you very much! Kind regards Thomas PS. Below is the example I'm using: %% LyX 2.0.0 created this file.
