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 from ctypes import windll, create_unicode_buffer File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 10, in <module> from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array 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.
