It's good to be persistent! To install packages with MiKTeK, try looking here: http://docs.miktex.org/faq/packages.html
As I said, I have no experience with MiKTeK.

To respond to the list, send an email to You can either Cc that address or send it directly. You actually don't have to send the email to me because I will see it on the list. I don't know anything about LaTeX in Windows. I would suggest searching for "MiKTeK how to install latex packages" in google.

Note that 2.0.4 is different from 2.0. Also, it's better if we respond to the list. That way others can view the discussion and can offer advice. Did you install the etoolbox package? Don't forget to do tool>reconfigure after you install so that LyX learns about the new package.

That means you might need to install it (the alternative is that it is installed but it is not being found). The package is located here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/etoolbox/ I don't know how you install packages in MiKTeX but it might be easier for you to install it from MiKTeX instead of doing it manually. Also, modernCV.lyx has been changed recently. Maybe those changes will fix your problem. Here is the most recent version of modernCV.lyx http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyxgit/lib/examples/modernCV.lyx You can see the changes here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/log/lyxgit/lib/examples/modernCV.lyx Scott ________________________________ From: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org<mailto:lyx-users@lists.lyx.org> [lyx-users@lists.lyx.org] on behalf of Josh Britt [joshbrit...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2012 9:19 PM To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org<mailto:lyx-users@lists.lyx.org> Subject: writing a vita with Modern Hi, I am getting an error when I try to view as pdf.
