Furthermore, I just uninstalled lyx and miktex and reinstalled from the bundled 
installer. 
Same problem. 

Any clues at all???

OK, so now I reinstalled everything not in Program Files, thinking perhaps the 
UAC in Vista was causing the problem. I noticed as it was installing that:
checking for an HTML previewer...
+checking for firefox...  no
checking for a Postscript previewer...
+checking for ghostview...  no

this seems strange since these are installed on my system...WUWT?

checking for an OpenDocument/OpenOffice viewer...
+checking for oowriter...  no
why not check for libreoffice?

opening lyx...fingers crossed...

YAYmy classes are there!! thank god for small favors

install not finding classes in miktek

2012-01-31 Thread d c
I just installed version 2.0.2 Friday nov. 25 2011

When I open files, if I look under settings, document class,
all my document classes are reported as missing.

The following info may or may not be relevant:
when I go to tool tex information it seems to have the various class files in 
various places, such as 
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex
C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\tex\latex
C:\Users\HP_User\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9\tex\latex

First I installed, encountered the error, uninstalled, manually removed the 
folder in program files and in C:\Users\my user\AppData\Roaming, and then 
reinstalled as administrator

I have tried various solutions from the mailing list, e.g.
I have tried reconfiguring restarting
I have tried setting my install packages on the fly both to yes and to no
I ahve tried updating my file name database

clues?

thx in advance
