some weird LYX error
Dear Sir/Madam, I've been using LYX for more than a year, this is the first time I ran into this problem. After updating to the latest LYX version, it kept showing this error ! Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option. (I copied the whole message and attached it below) If I go to Miktex package manager, it refuse to let me install any package. Miktex package manager reports another error, Windows API error 5: Access is denied. It never happened before...It seems to be a stupid question, but I cannot work with my team members on the repository without LYX...really need some help. Thanks a lot!

Best, Yan Hullo Yan, I had this problem earlier in the year. I think babel changed the way it functions and you now need to explicitly choose language definition files. First, close any program (like LyX) that might be using your TeX distribution. This can sometimes cause MiKTeX problems when trying to download files. Sometimes I've had to go to the Windows Task Manager (ctrl+shift+esc) to explicitly shut down a latex process that is continuing to run because of some earlier error (generally caused by me) in LyX or TeXworks. Now right click on the MiKTeX package manager and run as administrator. Scroll down the list to babel, below which you will see a long list of separate language files. Select the ones you want -- babel-english probably, and any others (click on them while holding down the control key) then click the + button top left, which should lead to MiKTeX downloading them into your MiKTeX distribution. This resolved the problem for me. If the Access is denied error persists, try rebooting your computer. Andrew

Dear Sir/Madam,
I've been using LYX for more than a year, this is the first time I ran into

error "! Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option." (I
