Lite lite is not same as LE, as LE is better and you cannot upgrade free with lite....which is why I forked out the money for the standard version finally, woot!
Setting up your controller should be a snap but hell I've had problems with various controllers and hosts for quite some time now. In fact I'm having a prob getting my android phone to send midi over ip with osculator or ipmidi for mac os at the moment and I honestly think its ableton this time!
Ok well for say an axiom or trigger finger, you should make sure you have most up to date drivers from m audio. Open live, preferences, and set up in #1 slot your midi controller, and depending on your controller it may be in the list, select it if it is, dont bother if it isnt, and then set it up as your input and output next to that.
Below that in midi ports, slect your device both for input and remote but not sync.
Then you should get input, and there will be a yellow rectangular led button in top right corner of ableton live that should light up if so....try remote mapping something then.
If you have m audio shit, axiom or trig finger, select preset 10, or 11, or 16(best) - preset 10,11 is for ableton and impulse, and I havent used them really. But preset 16 is a blank slate? So you should be good with that.
If not working, then keep playing with everything and work on it, you might get it.
Hope it works out
