Re: Can't insert BibTeX Bibliography; TeXFiles.py fails.
What happens if you open a DOS window in the \Resources\scripts directory and run TeXFiles.py there? (If Python files are properly registered -- meaning they show up in Explorer with a Python icon, which I won't even attempt to describe -- you can just type 'TeXFiles.py ' to run it; otherwise, you'll need to run 'python TeXFiles.py', and maybe supply the path to python.exe.) Also, when you click Tools > TeX Information, is the file list empty? /Paul
Re: Can't insert BibTeX Bibliography; TeXFiles.py fails.
Thanks Richard, I just reinstalled LyX using LyX-1.6.8-2-Installer.exe but I'm still having the same problem. I also checked to make sure TeXFiles.py file is there, which it is. I also noticed the same error happens when I go to Tools > TeX Information. Any suggestions? Should I try installing a full version of python?

It looks to me as if something is wrong with your Python installation, but I am not on Windows, so do not know for sure. You might want to check that the mentioned file is actually there. Probably the solution is to re-install LyX. I'm also using JabRef (2.6) to push BibTeX entries to LyX which seems to work except I get a [?] in the resulting .pdf wherever I have a citation. My understanding is that I need to insert a BibTeX bibliography in the LyX document to fix this and actually have the bibliography included in the .pdf, is this correct? Yes. Richard
Can't insert BibTeX Bibliography; TeXFiles.py fails.
Hello, I'm running LyX 1.6.8 on Windows 7 and I can't seem to insert my BibTeX bibliography into my LyX document. 'Insert > List / TOC > BibTeX Bibliography...' causes an error window to open that says "The script '/LyX/bin/../Resources/scripts/TeXFiles.py' failed". When I click "OK" the error window opens again a few more times before an empty 'LyX: BibTeX Bibliography' window opens up. I'm also using JabRef (2.6) to push BibTeX entries to LyX which seems to work except I get a [?] in the resulting .pdf wherever I have a citation. My understanding is that I need to insert a BibTeX bibliography in the LyX document to fix this and actually have the bibliography included in the .pdf, is this correct? Thanks!
