I was trying to install the "preview" package for instant preview (as
instructed by the help docs online; just turning it on in Preferences
did not work)... and I got this error. I am an Admin on the machine and
have the newest LyX version. LyX was closed when I was doing this. Not
sure what the cause would be.

Could be a transient error. See
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/f6c01b1b1df5cf3c
for one possible explanation.
If you run the MikTeX Settings application and click "Refresh FNDB",
does the same thing happen, or does it work ok?
Have you retried the package installation?
