I am using the altwindows installer. It has now boiled down to a layout file. At this point in time there is a document class unavailable to use.
I have the orginal spconf.sty, and the layout file which is a derivative of the article class. What I needs is the spconf package, where can I get it?

What are you using? After it's installed and recognized by tex then you should only have to insert \usepackage{spconf} in your LyX preamble. In some cases you'll need to reconfigure LyX.
