We recently had this topic and came to the conclusions that this doesn't 
work correctly on Windows, because there is a problem with the available 
fig converter TransFig on Windows.


No, it works fine if you install the correct packages:
- install jfig, a quite good XFig clone done in java. It is free as in 
beer. The configure script of LyX will find it if it's in the patch.
- dowload the transfig package from the WinFig homepage. Winfig is a 
shareware program that is useful only if you get a license. But the 
transfig package is open source and you can install it without problem.


This is all out of my memory, you'll need to google a bit for getting 
the proper names and locations.

We recently had this topic and came to the conclusions that this doesn't work correctly on Windows, 
because there is a problem with the available fig converter TransFig on Windows. To solve your 
problem, use Xfig or the program you created the fig-file and export it to one of these image formats:
