Check out the following recent post by Gregor on using LyX with Sweave on MS-Windows: http://ggorjan.blogspot.com/2008/06/using-sweave-with-lyx-on-ms-windows.html I just updated to LyX 1.5.5 on my Windows XP laptop. I followed Gregor's installation instructions from the Rnews article to the letter. The only thing extra for me was making sure that R was in the PATH. To do that, go Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables, and then scroll in the list for the Path variable to edit. In my case, it sufficed to append C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.7.0\bin to the list, but (of course) the location where R is stored depends on the user. With that small change everything worked fine. Please note that - coincidentally - I had already installed Cygwin on my system for other reasons; that may have helped with the relative ease that I had with the configuration. I have copied Gregor to this email. Perhaps we can combine our experiences with the above mentioned post and add some material to the LyX wiki for other users.
