I just wanted to report what I tried so far. It will not install if you dont have some VB libraries I think. I tried to install it in my office where I am running win98se, and it would not install because it was asking for some Visual Basic or Visual C++ libraries. I didn't want to mess things up in the office. So I went back home and got myself some unofficial service packs for win98se which included those libraries and a replacement for some system dll files for win98 (but I wouldnt recommend everyone to do this, as this is risky for those who have no experience in changing the system dll files).. it did install lyx, but then I think this "unable to find .. *blah*" error you mentioned. I havent tried anymore with the solution you suggested, since I busted my computer afterwards. I will experiment on this again when all my computers are in top condition.
