A solution would be to point people to a nicely crafted page
explaining what needs to be installed and what the choices are.
You mean like this?
https://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/TeXLive
Yes :) I admit I did not know it. Does the installer point to it? Could it?
We could have another for MiKTeX.
Or a not too long and intimidating page that explains why one needs
LaTeX and which distribution to use depending on uses. This page could
point to two a bit more technical pages describing each installer.
An executive summary (aka TL;DR) at the beginning could be useful for
users for short attention span concerning computer technicalities.
