If Uwe definitively decided that no compromise is possible (I haven't seen such final announcement yet though) and intends to fork the installer to github we could simply state on the web that due to lack of manpower we do not offer official win installer any more and invite potential contributors to pick up the code & rebuild it. Sooner or later someone will pop up. If that sounds too harsh we could abandon the installer for the moment and publish just lyx binaries/lyx tree in zip archive and let interested users install the rest of the chain. That would take some initial effort but once done, should be easy to maintain for the subsequent stable releases. Pavel
