So does this seem to be the pathname problem? You can run htlatex

can use the relative pathname.
I'm not sure what to do about this. HTML View and Export have been
broken for ages. They work now on Linux and (I believe) OSX. So one
possibility, absent a fix for Windows, is to alter configure.py so it
only installs the htlatex HTML converter on Linux. I suppose it could
still check for html2latex. The other option would be to try to ship
some python script or something that would fix the problem on Windows.
Notice that latex->html conversion works flawlessly for me with htlatex
on both Windows and *nix after simply removing the originaldir flag in
the converter. If I understand it correctly, your change would break the
conversion on Windows?
Sorry, but that can't be true. If you run htlatex without the
originaldir flag, then, yes, you will get an html file dumped into the
directory where the original LyX file lived. But you'll only get the one
HTML file, not the other files generated for footnotes, and not the css
file. There are several bug reports about that, and that's how the code
works: If you export html from myfile.lyx, the only file that gets
copied out of the temporary directory is myfile.html. You will have the
other files in the temporary directory, and you could copy them out
manually before closing LyX (at which point they'll be erased), but
that's not how export is supposed to work.
That said, an option would be to omit the (new) usetempdir flag on
Windows. Then View>HTML would work, though export would work only
partially, as just described.
