Good news: There will be a new MiKTeX installer soon and the MiKTeX
maintainer proposed a workaround for the main bug. I cannot promise
that I will find time today to check if this will work for all cases.
OK, I could check it and it works. The new installer can be found here:
http://ftp.lyx.de/LyXWinInstaller/LyX2.3.0/
Now the users is not bothered at all. Everything that needs to be done
is done by the installer silently.
I would nevertheless wait with the announcement because the MiKTeX
developer promised to make a release just for us soon. If it will be
available by Tuesday, I will create a new installer, if not, let's
release LyX 2.3.0 with the installer version 3 I linked above.
Thanks Uwe. I have tried the installer.
However, it does not give the user a choice on whether to update MiKTeX
or not. One is only told that MiKTeX must be updated and can only click
"OK". I guess it would be preferable to let the user choose to at least
update or cancel the whole installation. But maybe that is hard to
implement since the message comes up only after parts of LyX are already
installed? But maybe one could inform the user at an earlier stage where
she then has to click "Next" or so?
Also, I noticed that the MiKTeX Package Manager opens up for some reason
and stays open. I am not sure why that is happening.
And the installation also worked without an active internet connection.
