I installed LyX 2.3.5 a couple of days ago (?), and it worked fine. (Windows 10 64bit, latest version.)



Today, one of my students tried to install some template for LyX 2.3.5, and messed around with MikTeX. But in the end that didn't work. So in the end, I uninstalled MikTeX, Inkscape, and LyX, and re-installed the programs.



Now I get this error message:

Oops! I inadvertently replied to Bernt offline, suggesting that the extsizes package had not been installed. Pasting in his reply:


did nothing special to include specific packages a couple of days ago, and nothing special today.
It's been quite a while since I used MikTeX, but I vaguely recall that installation options included a modest size package with common classes and something of an omnibus installation with all sorts of packages (and a large footprint). Bernt, is it possible that you did a full installation in the case that the document class was available and a smaller installation in the case where it was not?

I'm assuming here that basic classes (such as article.cls) remain available even when extarticle.cls does not.

The error message came up when I used the... I think it was the IEEE article style (I left office; I’ll recheck tomorrow morning). The document opened in LyX, but when I tried to preview it in Acrobat Reader, I got an error message that it could not produce the pdf file.
