Also, I have no Edit>Preferences drop-down. All I have is: JuiceBoxBuilder-Lite | Gallery | Images | Presets | Help
Just to clarify, the 'Edit -> Preferences...' option was a reference to the Adobe Lightroom interface (not JuiceboxBuilder-Lite).
If I need Adobe Lightroom, ... negative.
The Juicebox-Lite plugin for Adobe Lightroom is just that: a plugin to allow Juicebox-Lite galleries to be created via the user interface in Adobe Lightroom.
If you do not have Adobe Lightroom, then you will not be able to use the Juicebox-Lite plugin for Adobe Lightroom.
Don't worry, though. The Juicebox-Lite plugin for Adobe Lightroom is just one way to create Juicebox-Lite galleries. It is provided as a convenience for users who already include Adobe Lightroom in their workflow and want to create Juicebox-Pro galleries without switching to another program (such as JuiceboxBuilder-Lite).
However, you do not need Adobe Lightroom to create Juicebox-Lite galleries. You can use JuiceboxBuilder-Lite (which also comes bundled within the Juicebox-Lite zip package) instead. It requires Adobe AIR to run but Adobe AIR is free. Please see the links below regarding JuiceboxBuilder. Installation instructions can be found in the User Guide. (It sounds like you may already have installed JuiceboxBuilder-Lite.)

A Juicebox-Lite gallery created with JuiceboxBuilder-Lite is exactly the same as a Juicebox-Lite gallery created with the Lightroom plugin (assuming similar configuration options are used in both) so you are not missing out on any Juicebox features or functionality by not having Adobe Lightroom.
As well as JuiceboxBuilder-Lite and the Lightroom plugin, there are other methods of creating Juicebox-Lite galleries.
Please see the Juicebox Plugins support section for details.
I hope that helps to clarify things.
