Untill yesterday I had worked with Word, but my instructor recommended I start using LyX. I use windows, so I followed the wiki he recommended. Everything runs alright except when trying to compile to pdf, I recieved the error:
LaTeX Error: File `cp1255.def' not found.
It's worth mentioning that I tried to uninstall and install the 2.0.6 version, but got the same error, so I reinstalled 2.2.2.
How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.
Here is the log file for trying to compile a document with hebrew:

On Windows, install the package "babel-hebrew" through MiKTeX's package manager.
On Ubuntu, if you are using TeX Live from the Ubuntu repos, install the package "texlive-lang-other".
On other systems, search for the package that contains the file "cp1255.def".
