When I reconfigure LyX and then look at the configure log, I find LyX
has, among others, checked for and not found inkscape, gnumeric,
firefox, mozilla, ghostview, acrobat, acroreader, abiword, oowriter, yet
all these programs are installed on my computer. As far as I'm aware
there's no special permissions or access restrictions that might make
them invisible.
The program are searched in your PATH, which makes sense mostly for
linux/unix. For all programs used as viewers, this is not a problem,
since windows has other means to associate files to viewers.
However, for converters like inkscape, it may make a difference.

Let me add that you can add the paths to useful executable such as
inkscape from within LyX, using the menu Tools > Preferences > Paths >
then edit the PATH prefix, and reconfigure LyX.

Yes, I've since done this for my favoured text editor (understandably
*not* notepad, which is the one text editor that LyX finds).
