I've installed 2.4.0 alpha 1 on windows 10. When I try to add the 
Standard Theorems (Numbered by type) module to a new document I too get 
the message: Error reading module theorems-bytype.  I looked at the 
module and commented out the line

Input theorems-counters-bytype.inc

and it loaded without problem. theorems-counters-bytype.inc is not in 
the LyX 2.4/Resources/layouts directory, which I presume is the problem.

(In the module there is also the line

     \ifx\proof\undefined\

Is that last backslash supposed to be there?)
