Dear all,
I have two separate questions:
1. If no edits are made to the following dialog, do you believe the
dialog would be confusing to the *average* LyX user on Windows during
the LyX 2.3.0 installation process?
LyX requires MiKTeX 2.9 or later. Your version is X.X.
Choose "Continue" to automatically update MiKTeX now,
or "Cancel" to stop the LyX installation. If you do not
understand this message, you should choose "Continue".
Cancel Continue
2. Do you have any suggested edits to improve the clarity of the above
message to the *average* LyX user on Windows?
Note that this email follows a previous thread [1]. If you did not
follow that thread, no problem at all since it would be good to have a
fresh view.
Thank you for your help!
Scott

It seems clear enough to me, but is "continue" the correct thing to do
if you're confused? I haven't used Windows (or MiKTeX) in a while, but I
gather there are potential problems with doing an update. If that's the
case, the instructions seem to be saying "if you're confused, click
continue and let us maybe break your MiKTeX installation".
On the other hand, if the correct choice is to be conservative and click
cancel, maybe we should throw a life preserver? "... you should choose
'Cancel', after which you might want to seek help on the LyX user
mailing list" (or some such)?
