I understand your frustration and I thank you for supporting my
argument that lyx should distribute a bundle windows version with
miktex, convert, aspell, some converters etc.
Such bundles exist. They are called 'SuSE 9.3', 'Fedora Core 4',
'Debian Sarge' or similarly and install nicely on top of any
version of Windows. They usually even include nethack and lots
of other things you might find useful.

Even as easy as it has become, LyX 1.3.6 for Windows is beyond
99% of Windows users. They are not used to reading, nor do they
want to learn, to read documentation. Same applies to Fedora Core
4 which has become amazingly easy with "yum install lyx".
I can't remember if the content of http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136
is repeated in an Install or Readme file accompanying the release. Also
since it is the first officially supported release of Lyx for windows, there
should be no expectation of being even nearly "fully featured".
Feature is not yet another word for eliminating documentation,
