Do you understand the argument that I, Richard, Jean-Marc, and racoon
have expressed (to those I cite, please correct me if I misrepresent
your opinion)?
I understand what you wrote but not your goal behind it.
I use the LyX installer to install LyX. Therefore I expect a working LyX
afterwards.
What you propose it to let the user choose, but there is nothing to
choose. If they don't want to install LyX they would not use the LyX
installer. So if the LyX installer does what you want and let the user
deny the update, they won't get a working LyX. But if their goal was not
to get a working LyX then installing LyX makes no sense.
Only once both sides understand the argument of the other, without
judgement, without comparing, just *understanding*, can we actually move
to the next step of coming up with a solution.
I already have the solution and the user feedback is positive. So why do
you think there is no solution?
task: installing results in a fully functional LyX
solution: the LyX installer I created
---------------
Meanwhile I got the report that version 4 of the LyX Win installer fails
on some 64bit Windows. I am currently working on this and will most
probably come up with another version of the installer that fixes this.
