errorslyxpreviewviewers
Recently I reinstalled LyX under Windows 10. Even though I have installed foxit reader, I get a pop up message in preview that it says:
"No PDF viewer is installed. Please install a PDF viewer such as Adobe Reader".
I tried to reconfigure LyX after installing Nitro, but the problem remains.
Do I miss a specific setting in order to say to LyX to use Foxit Reader?
For the recent version (4.1.1) of Texmaker, the solution provided in How do I open a pdf file in the TexMaker internal PDF viewer using a user-defined quick build sequence? should still work and open the internal PDF viewer instead of the external one.
In TeXstudio (current version: 2.7.0), however, the implementation has changed: Now the internal PDF viewer is opened by specifying txs:///view-pdf-internal1 in the user-defined Quick Build command. So the correct call would be
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|bibtex %.aux|pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|txs:///view-pdf-internal
in your case.
1Until TeXstudio version 2.5.1, it was tmx://internal-pdf-viewer.
I have these settings and everything works just fine for me. You should also try deleting all the auxiliary files (and .pdf) to see if it works.
Especially the Server settings ('acroviewR11') may solve your problems.

I managed to overcome this problem by setting foxit reader as a default program for
pdffiles. For some reason, win10 by itself had setmicrosoft edgeas the default program forpdffiles.In order to do so, do the followings: (This procedure works on win10. I assume that these steps are similar for win7 and win8)
control panel --> programs --> default programs --> associate a file type or protocol with a program
On the list, find .pdf format and associate it with your pdf reader.
After these steps, LyX's document preview works just fine
