Next problem. The lyx shortcut and lyx entry in the start menu are present only for the user who installed lyx. (In this case the administrator.) How do I get the installer to do so for all users? I guess that this is another registry question.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER contains registry settings for the current user logged in. If you register the file types here, they will only work for the user logged in.
Add them to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead to make the settings global. This typically requires administrative rights.
The normal approach is to let the installer detect what rights the user has. If he has administrative rights, ask the user whether to install for all users, or for the current user only.
