Joost did a very good job, the install instructions are very clear. But there are some things yet to check/understand.
For example, I was trying to build the installer, then I found a typo in the NSIS script that leads to an incorrect behavior of the installer. This probably happened because someone changed the script but, since there are no installers available, nobody is testing it. I've opened a ticket and submitted a patch for the problem I've found but I'm almost sure there are other errors like this one. I'm also concerned that my LyX build is using files of previous installations. I need to create a test environment (virtual machine?) to make sure that a fresh install will work properly.
