Hi Cecile,
I have also had problems with Miktex not installing missing packages
properly, see my post where I comment on a solution that fixed it for
me. ymmv

I downloaded LyX-2.0.5.1-Bundle-4.exe from
http://www.lyx.org/Download and I have windows 7.
When I install Lyx, Miktex asks me if I want to install missing
packages on the fly, of course I click "Yes". It doesn t tell me
anything about amsthm.sty and later Miktex aks me if i want to update
it. The first time I said yes.
While searching on the web how to install amsthm, I found that I was
not the only one to have a problem with the amsthm!
(http://latex-community.org/home/news/46-news-latex-distributions/469-miktex-amsmath)
I reinstall lyx and this time I refuse the update of Miktex and ...
now it works!! The only annoying thing is that Miktex keeps asking me
if I let it modify my computer when I want to create the pdf...

I downloaded amscls2 and amsmath2 from

installation seems quite complicated for me I tryed to uninstall
MikTex which I couldn t because the directory wasn t empty???
My question is : should I remove directly Miktex? will that uninstall
it?
How did you install LyX (and MikTeX)?
AFAIK the LyX installer for Windows tries hard to assist you to
install the required packages.
How did you manage to get asked from MikTeX to install the amsthm.sty
package and later it's missing? I'm not a MikTeX user, but either you
are a LaTeX package manager like MikTeX or you have to add missing
packages manually. You should avoid to mix these or you should know
what you're doing.
You didn't say anything about your Windows version, or did I miss it?
Regards,
Stephan

Hello everyone!
Here is (again) a quick description of my problem:
I created my lyx files with a mac, I am now using a windows computer
and
can't create the pdf of the files created with the mac. I have no
problem if
I compile files created with windows. I send you one of the files
that works
with mac but not with windows.
I use LyX-2.0.5.1
and a more complete description of the problem:
When I try to generate a pdflatex file I first have the following
message:
“Do you autorize the MikTex package manager to modify the computer?”
and then this error message:
“Latex Error: File ‘amsthm.sty’ not found”
Hi,
You have to install the package that has the amsthm.sty file in
MiKTeX. The package is probably called 'amsthm'.
After you do this, open LyX and go to Tools > reconfigure.
