I think I made clear what I meant, if you are insulted by any criticism
then I can't help you.
But you never asked me for help but did everything on your own.
Excuse me, but you disappeared after you didn't get your way. There
wouldn't be an official Windows installer if I hadn't build one.
Sorry, but you defined my installer as not being the official one
anymore. So you cannot blame me for this.
Yes, I think so because otherwise why was it for you that important to
make decisions for Windows users? You don't use Windows for your daily
tasks so you could let things be as they have been developed together
with the Win user community over the years. You wanted to change it
nevertheless so there must have been a personal benefit for you.
That is just silly. And offensive.
Why is this silly? In February I used your installer to install LyX
2.3.2 and ended up with a completely broken system. I did not touch my
LyX and also not MiKTeX for months and just wanted to upgrade from LyX
2.3.0 to 2.3.2. MiKTeX was crashing during when the installer run LyX's
reconfiguration.
So why is it insulting that I am not amused that you decided what is
good for Windows users but now Windows users have to suffer?
I was removed but now LyX has an installer that break existing
installations on some systems and nobody cares. Do you regularly give
the installer a try on different Win systems with TeXLive and MiKTeX?
Apparently not. But then you cannot expect many Windows users for LyX. I
as expert needed several hours to find out what is going one and you
cannot expect this from average users too.
Yes MiKTeX has become annoying since about a year but since TeXLive
doesn't allow to install all necessary packages for a fully functional
LyX with the installer (at least not with TeXLive 2017, the last version
I tested), there is no better way to provide an installer where you can
just click a few times OK and Next and get a fully functional LyX.
