the new template doesn't work well

Question

I was going crazy with the LyX and MikTeX configuration for a new class,I think I have done it matching the step! but None I get

here what i've done:

Get a copy of the class file, and copy it into a folder with the same name into C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.8\tex\latex. So, for ociamthesis.cls, you should have a folder called ociamthesis within C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.8\tex\latex. This is Windows Vista / Windows 7 specific, you will soon see why… Create a new file and paste the following into it:

% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
 \DeclareLaTeXClass[xxx]{article (xxx)}
 Input general definitions

Input stdclass.inc replacing xxx with the class name (without the .cls extension).

In my case, xxx is eethesis, and the code above becomes:

% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
 \DeclareLaTeXClass[ociamthesis]{report (ociamthesis)}
 Input general definitions
 Input stdclass.inc

Thanks goes out to Adding a new class in LyX for this.

Save this file to C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts, naming it ociamthesis.layout. In a command prompt (type cmd in start menu), type texhash. What you will now see it doing is iterating through several folders for new classes, one of which (C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.8\) is where we copied the ociamthesis.cls class file into. Within Lyx, hit Tools > Reconfigure, then restart Lyx.

but when I try to run, I get this error message : LaTeX Error :

File 'ociamthesis.sty' not found

Can anyone help me?

I don't use Lyx (and looking at your complicated description I'm quite grateful ;-)) but two remarks:

1. you add a .cls file while your error message miss a .sty. If you quoted the error message correctly, your lyx configuration is probably wrong.
2. If the error message actually says that the cls is not found then either your root (C:\User\...\2.8) is either not a known root of miktex or you didn't update its FNDB. Check in miktex settings if the root is listed (check "show miktex roots) and update the FNDB. If you have a multiuser setup do it in user and admin mode.
