LyX 2 is great.But I had difficulty in configuring and using inverse and forward-search features for SumatraPDF.I developed my own solution, perhaps you might be interested.1. I was annoyed by command windows popoping up everytime i use inverse search from sumatra pdf to lyx.

Configuring lyx for inverse and forward search is quite cumbersome, for some reason inverse search was not working since sumatrapdf was called from "C:\Program Files\Lyx20\bin". > I added SumatraPDF folder in LyX:Preferences:Paths:PATH prefix > SumatraView.bat as PDF viewer under file formats, pdf (pdflatex) as viewver > > All files are attahced and below you can find codes. > Inverse and Forward search works seamlessly. If you have a large screen, put lyx on left and sumatra on right side, it is great to work.You should put all files under your default SumatraPDF foldercodes: > 1.

Thanks a lot! Got it working with LyX 2.1 and SumatraPDF. A little improvement: Your download link has the wrong file extension but links to a .bin file, which is in fact the 7zip file.
