I tried installing alpha2 over my alpha1 installation. It installed but LyX would not launch (stopped at about 6800 KB in Task Manager and just sat there). After a certain amount of tinkering (uninstalling, renaming my user LyX2.2 folder etc.) I found the problem was the personalised version of stdtoolbars.inc that I had in my user LyX2.2/ui directory (I needed to change Format 1 to Format 3). It might be better to advise uninstalling alpha1 *and* preferences (or renaming the alpha1 LyX2.2 folder) so that LyX will launch after installation.
Thanks for this hint. I am not sure if you found a bug maybe a LyX devel colleague could tell us that. For now the installer already warns you that installing over another could cause unwanted side effects. I tested to install alpha 2 over alpha 1 with success but OK, I did not manually change a file of alpha 1.
