Hmm... this gave me a thought. I'm not sure what the situation is currently, but could the (eventual) LyX installer invoke the MikTeX installer in some kind of "silent" or "stupid" mode, where the user is only asked a minimum of questions? (I'm assuming that the user previously has selected to do the simplest kind of installation, with almost everything pre-selected).

The last days were hard: Since the release of LyX 1.4.4 I wrote now over 100 emails to give support.

Yes, I've noticed that you've been quite active here. I haven't followed that traffic, but it seems like there was quite a few problems.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to help you test the installer before you release it to the public. I'm sure there are other developers/users we could ask for testing the installer before it's publically released.

I don't know what the status is for Joost's installer, but I'd say the same thing holds there.

Oh, that reminds me... is there a recommended procedure for upgrading LyX?
(I guess this might depend on which installer you used as well?)

Best regards
