For these people we have the standard installer. The bundle installer is
especially designed for
new installations and therefore includes MiKTeX and JabRef (is optional). So
the standard
installer will not bother the user and is as small as possible to update
existing LyX
installations. This variant therefore expects an installed MiKTeX. If no MiKTeX
or TeXLive is
found, it will throw a warning that the bundle installer should be used.
Why don't we download it anymore then ?
Then we would have the same trouble as we have now in the installer for 2.0.0 with broken download
links and we need more complicated installer code.
Besides this there are from time to time bugs in MiKTeX releases that break LaTeX packages. By
including MiKTeX we assure that we are shipping a tested MiKTeX build.
We did this as long as I remember having Windows installers.
Never with my installer. I provide the solution with the two installer variants since I'm involved
to LyX and I never had complaints that new users used the standard installer without having LaTeX
installed.
