Ok, Asger, I have created the absolute bare minimum installer.
Sounds good.
* Check for various utilities and, if not found, offer to download them. I'm thinking of
* python
* perl (used by reLyX)
* msys
* imagemagick
We have a variable \path_prefix in the lyxrc.defaults/preferences files. It would be nice to add the installed locations of the above to it...
I believe you can do this with NSIS.
But LyX could auto-detect this stuff at runtime as well - if the corresponding tool hasn't been configured, try to find them with the default installation locations for these tools.
Anything else?
Uh, what about LaTeX, and a bunch of relevant previewers?
I believe NSIS has some nice download plugins, so it should be relatively easy to implement this stuff.
Regards, Asger
