At the moment, and unfortunately so, loading lyx onto windows is not straight out of the box - if it were so then the list would have no one asking the same old Win Lyx q's almost every week - this page is meant for them - people who have firstly followed up the method on Ruurd's download page and

Ruurd made a great job with LyXWin. The only problem is the Sed. I'll mail him and hopefully he will provide LyXWin 1.3.4 with the actual Sed version. I agree that the LyXWin is great. What is the actual problem with SED. I have not installed a new version of SED AFAIK. And my LyXWin works fine

I can reconfigure without problems but following this there are still couple of "bugs": 1. Trying to read Latex configuration from the menu or the file in the .../share/doc/ directory gives the message it is not a lyx file, the file is not created i.e. it has 0 bytes. This is a well known bug, but
