Dear Rubin Thank you very much for your quick reply. I am sorry for the delayed response to your email. I went step by step according to your suggestions. 1. I could not find any configure.log file under C:\users\...\Roaming\LyX 2.0. There was only one folder named "cache" and a file outside the folder named "session". 2.I tried to run configuration script in DOS windows: C:\Program Files(x86)\LyX20\Python\Python.exe , this one did not show any error. But when I ran the other one with configure.py it showed the following messages: File "C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.0\Resources\configure.py", line 11, in , <module> import sys, os, re , shutil, glob, logging, subprocess File "C:\python25\lib\subprocess.py", line375, in<module> import threading File "C:\python25\lib\threading.py", line 13, in <module> from collections import deque Import error: No module named collections I again apologize for being little late to reply to the group and rubin. I really appreciate your help and time. Thank you very much. Regards Sharif ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Paul A. Rubin <ru...@msu.edu> *To:* Y.A. Sharif <yasha...@yahoo.com> *Sent:* Friday, June 7, 2013 9:37 AM *Subject:* Re: Document class missing after installation Y.A., LyX creates a user directory for you, where it stores your preferences and other "local" files. On my Windows 7 partition, the user directory is C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0. If you have trouble finding it, Help > About LyX should point you to it. In that directory, there should be a text file named configure.log. (If not, keep reading, I'll get to that case.) It's generated when the Python configuration script runs. (This is script is both run at installation and when you click Tools > Reconfigure in LyX.) In it, you should see lines like the following: INFO: checking for a Latex2e program... INFO: +checking for "latex"... yes INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program... INFO: +checking for "pplatex"... yes and eventually INFO: checking for the pdflatex program... INFO: +checking for "pdflatex"... yes If they read "no", it means LyX failed to detect MiKTeX for some reason. I've seen this happen when the user had Cygwin installed, for instance. I don't know if it is still true, but Cygwin used to come with a broken copy of LaTeX, and if Cygwin was in front of MiKTeX on the system command path, LyX would test the Cygwin version of latex.exe and conclude that there was no working LaTeX compiler on the system. If the log shows that LyX found MiKTeX ('yes' responses), go back to a DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (if the article class is "missing" according to LyX) and make sure that MiKTeX finds it. If that looks correct, or if the log file is missing, then I suggest you cd to your LyX user directory and run the configuration script in a DOS window. The command line will look something like the following (allowing for the possibility that your installation path is different): "C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Resources\configure.py" See if any error messages appear.

Can you run "latex --version" at a DOS prompt (without supplying a path to MiKTeX) and get a response with a plausible version date? If yes, take a look at the log generated by the installer (should be in your user directory, I think) and see if it found a LaTeX installation. You might want to publish the log to the list. Paul
This looks to me like http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8691 again. -- Julien
