I cannot reproduce this with the English versions of these files. What language
version have you used?

I'm confused because I wrote the LyXLauncher for my installer I provide at berlios but also at
ftp.lyx.org:

I cannot reproduce this. What is your Windows version?

I act like other programs do this as well. I put all binaries (.exe files) in one folder and name it
"bin". The python.exe requires the lib files in a subfolder of its folder. But all this is only done
when you don't have already Python installed. But anyway, why is this important?
