Because these preferences entry can only be made when Inkscape is installed. I don't know how to do this in configure.py because checking for a inkscape.exe is not enough. I therefore check while installing LyX if the SVG file extensionis registered to Inkscape.
You mean that the Inkscape path should be in the path prefix on Windows? That can still be done by the installer, but the configure script should create the converter entries. That will make it work on Linux and other platforms as well.
The preferences file is also user-specific, while the configure script will be run for every user.
