Hello everone! I have a fresh install of Lyx (bundle) on my windows box. Lyx starts up fine, but I can not typeset files using Ctrl-R. All packages are marked as unavailable, although the miktex path seems to be fine (C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin) and miktex itself seems to work as expected. Lyx Reconfigure fails with:

I gave almost every Permissions to everyone in C:/Program Files (x86)/LyX 2.1 and can write file there. So, somethings is very wrong with my installation I can't figure out what that is. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Cheers, Fabian
