Miktex 2.9 or later is mandatory to compile LyX document but if LyX is
used to simply generate LyX document (or LaTeX document) without
compiling it, we should not forbid this use. So I would suggest to
install LyX in all cases and if need be, to give the choice to the user
either to upgrade himself properly Miktex (followed by a reconfiguration
of LyX) or to let the LyX installer perform this Miktex upgrade.
I am not sure I understand this correctly.
It is still possible to install LyX without LaTeX. For example by
checking "do not use LaTeX" during installation. But then it should be
made sure that the dialog about upgrading MiKTeX should come only after
this option and the upgrade should be done only if MiKTeX is really used
with LyX.
