Don't be so quick to stop a postinstall script. Several minutes is not too long to wait for some packages.
It was not several minutes - it was many many minutes. Half an hour maybe. I already succeeded at installing LyX on other, much slower computer. It was the same version of Setup.exe. The only difference was that they ran on XP.
But I did notice you have miktex installed as well.
How do you see it? What is the name of the package? I didn't install it myself - it must be a dependency of something. The report i attached is from a clean install. After failing to install LyX for several times i wiped everything and reinstalled the packages i need, without LyX or TeX. If any TeX-related package got there anyway, it must be a dependency. How can i see a list of a package's dependencies?
