ok, it failed after i tried reconfiguring after installing some other packages.
those packages aren't at fault, i'm getting an error i got before (from the
~user\configure.log):
DEBUG: Removing file a b.tex
DEBUG: Removing file a b.log
DEBUG: Failed to remove file texput.log
this error causes the program to exit even before the previous .ltx files. the
standard output also gives this:
Checking whether TeX allows spaces in file names... yes
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Apps\Editors\LyX\Resources\configure.py", line 1444, in <module>
windows_style_tex_paths = checkTeXPaths()
File "c:\Apps\Editors\LyX\Resources\configure.py", line 113, in checkTeXPaths

ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
the way i fixed this before to get it slightly further was by upgrading to
MiKTeX 2.9, but that's what i have installed now. by the way, i have also
ensured that i have full access rights and ownership of all MiKTeX, LyX, and
user files and directories. Thanks in advance for your help.
