XP SP3 Polish here (tested via VirtualBox), installed LyX won't run,
it immediately exits with the message (roughly translated to English):
"Application hasn't been properly initialized (0xc0150002). Click OK to
terminate the application".
The reason is that LyX.exe somehow depends on msvcr90.dll, which is
missing. Copying both Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest and msvcr90.dll into
'bin' directory solved the problem.
This might also be somehow related to
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg85707.html,
though I haven't checked LyX 1.6.9 at all.
Another thing is that the installed LyX uses %APPDATA%\LyX2.0
directory for its settings, instead of %APPDATA%\lyx20, used by all the
previous 2.0 prereleases (except 'my' unofficial AltInstaller, due to
a bug).
I can also confirm, that LyX 2.0rc1 dictionaries are totally
unusable (!) also on windows, due to spellchecking bug (F7 doesn't
work, among other things). Because of this, I cannot test the new
feature of the installer - included dictionaries and thesauri.
