For multi-user installations it's also impossible to download them
directly to the program files because of the need for administrator privileges.

Sure, a normal user cannot set up things for other users on the PC. That is for a good reason. So if you want to install LyX for all users you need to have admin priviledges - this is already the case with your installer.

Even if you got administrator privileges, you cannot download files to program files. So first you need to save them somewhere else and them move the files to the LyX directory.

Creating separate installers for each language (as we did for Aspell) is not an option because of
the huge maintenance burden.

That is not my plan. The installer will download additional dictionaries by simply downloading them from the Internet and copy it to the location, where the English version is (that will always be included in the installer).

So you want to show a list of all available languages and allow the user to select which ones to download?
