So at least python.exe, sh.exe etc will be in, right? Installing full python and msys is unacceptable even if they are downloaded automatically.
Yes, these very essential GPL-compatible things (LyX won't configure or run without them), will be bundled. It is indeed nonsense to download a complete MSYS and Python if you only need a few files.
Another question is about ImageMagick. this should not be optional since it is essential to the functioning of lyx.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know LyX can be used with limited graphic support without ImageMagick. It should of course be recommended to let the installer download ImageMagick for you if it's not yet installed.
I will create a new thread about this soon, so we can discuss the details there.
