I first installed the LyX 1.4.2 bundle with all its components including the
MikTex. It installed into all default directories.

Now I am going to install another Latex bundle which includes a complete
package of MikTex and the WinEdt software.

I am worried about the existence of two MikTex in my system...

The official LyXWin 1.4.2 installer comes with a basic installation of MiKTeX 2.4 that only contains absolutely needed packages. Missing packages are installed automatically on the fly via the internet if the are needed.

I don't know what version of MiKTeX you've installed when you installed WinEdt?

To assure that you only have one most recent MiKTeX installed I recommend to uninstall both MiKTeX-versions and the new MiKTeX 2.5 using this installer:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/miktex/basic-miktex-2.5.2412.exe

This is a basic-version.

Btw.: Why do yo need WinEdt when you have LyX?

Btw. 2: There is a LyXWin installer that comes with MiKTeX 2.5 and LyX 1.4.2:
