The install bundle in LyX does not include the IEEE Transactions Layout. You can try out the following steps that I found on this blog.
- Download the IEEEtrans.zip file from here.
- Extract it to the path YOUR_DRIVE:\YOUR_Progra_Files_FOLDER\MiKTeX x\tex\latex where x is the MikTeX version.
- Click Start Menu->Programs->Miktex x->Settings. Click Refresh FNDB and then click Update Formats.
- Start LyX. Click Tools->Reconfigure. Restart LyX.
These worked on my Windows machine. Let me know if they work for you.
And those of you who don’t know what Lyx is and how useful it can be:
LyX is a document processor that combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation come standard. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are built in.
