The Windows installer "LyX-1.6.9-2-Installer.exe" has the wrong path to
MiKTeX and will therefore not properly install on a MiKTeX-less system.  I
would really appreciate it if someone could fix this ASAP, as I'm giving a
presentation on LyX to about 90 people tomorrow.  Running the installer with
a trace under Wine (doesn't work on real Windows either), it appears that
the installer is looking for the file:

where it looks like it should be looking for:

Thanks so much for looking into this issue.
