thanks for your help! Yes, there is cygwin install on the computer. I now looked for the cygwin directory in system path variable, but there was only the miktex path, so I'm not sure if that is the problem or if I looked at the wrong variable. This is what's in the path variable: C:\Windows\system32 C:\Windows C:\Windows\System32\Wbem C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\ C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Common C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Common C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Client\Program C:\Program Files (x86)\Heimdal\bin\ C:\Program Files\Heimdal\bin\ and these are the paths from LyX: $LyXDir\bin; $LyXDir\Python; $LyXDir\Python\Lib; $LyXDir\Perl\bin; $LyXDir\imagemagick; C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\tex\latex; C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin; C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim74; C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.1\ghostscript\bin Cheers, Fabian
