I am having some difficulties getting LyX 1.3.5 for Win32 to start. When I attempt to execute lyx.exe I get a dialog box with the following text:

LyX wasn't able to find any layout description!

Check the contents of the file "textclass.lst"

Seems that LyX can't find your MikTeX.

What do I need to check for to get this working?

First you should check if MikTeX is working:

- try to open the program "yap"
- try to compile the attached file with pdflatex
  Open a console and type:

pdflatex test

- check if MikTeX is in the "path" which you'll find in the system
  variable settings
