I had a similar experience w/ MiKTeX on my PC I tried getting reportlab setup (didn't try too hard) , but something was missing / had trouble / didn't work.
I installed MiKTeX and had NO idea what packages I needed, fonts to make, etc. etc. So I tried LyX. It seemed to work w/ MiKTeX, but I was helping edit a book written in LaTeX for AW, and LyX had trouble with that (actually, I couldn't send back changes easily)... Which lead me to WinEdt - It fired MiKTeX, and loaded all the missing pieces, builds all the needed fonts - I just watch... It Works for me; I like it. YMMV Yarko. But there's the ticket - whatever works for you.
