This is Forhad from UNSW Australia. I have got a problem while installing Lyx 
on my desktop (Core=i7, 16 GB RAM) In fact, the installation is perfect, but

every time. Even, I have tried to uninstall the Lyx including miktex andagain 
install the LyX-2.1.2-Bundle-1 (208 MB), then the problem remain same. I have 
also tired to change the path address from the toolspreference and the system 
environment.

I don't understand the actual problem. Can you please help me regarding this. 
For your information the error window are presneted bewlo. In addition, the 
current set of path in Lyx are given below.  Note that, I have searched on web
