In my experience these configuration failures occur either when one of
LyX and MikTeX (or TeXLive) has been installed as administrator and the
other as ordinary user, or when one is installed under Windows and the
other under another OS. Since Cygwin acts in some ways as an OS, in
particular in its use of Unix-type file paths, this may indeed be the
cause of your problems.
However, for using LyX, there is no need to install Cywgin. The normal
Windows LyX with Windows MikTeX or TeXLive is sufficient. You do not
need to uninstall Cygwin, just install either Windows LyX with Windows
MikTeX or TeXLive, or Cygwin LyX with Cywgin TeXLive.
Cheers,
Kees

I guess that I have the answer.
lyx-2.3.2-cygwin.tar.gz
<https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/bin/2.3.2/lyx-2.3.2-cygwin.tar.gz>
has not been installed.
But configure.py should have detected it!

I am sorry for the confusion.
none of the files exist on the computer.
Anyway. I do not think that it is the issue.
It seems that the py file terminates normally.
Is checkTeXPaths executed?
it seems that the output windows_style_tex_paths is not set
is it because the statement is false?
if os.name == 'nt' or sys.platform == 'cygwin':
why test only nt and cygwin ?
cygwin is not installed, it does not seems that we need cygwin for lyx.
Could you confirm it?
checkOtherEntries does not provide any information
lyx_kpsewhich may be not set to true
I will check about
checkModulesConfig()
checkCiteEnginesConfig()
checkXTemplates()
checkLatexConfig()
removeTempFiles()
later after the os issue has need clarified.

Hello,
The configuration stop at

Actually, any of the 3 files exists on the computer
Sorry, do you mean these files do exist, or that they do not exist? If
they do exist, what directory are they in?
I can comment these lines in the python file, but it does not help.
Actually, the rest of the file is not executed!
I check on the permissions of the Lyx and Miktex files. But I do
not see
any thing wrong.
One possibility is that this is some kind of file-locking issue. We've
seen this kind of thing on Windows before, though with temporary files.
