Thanks for your answer. I am behind a firewall but the installation of Lyx on my desktop computer (also behind the firewall) was OK: I had just to install after manually the dictionaries. I will try this evening at home, without firewall, but it seems to be another problem (otherwise my desktop installation wouldn't work). Currently (at my office), I've just retried but I have the same problem. I have attached the (French, sorry) error message... Same symptom in the texclass.lst: all layouts set to false.
