It still did /*not */work. The response from running:
lyx -dbg 3 was: Lyx is not recognized as an internal or external
command.. etc.
By the way, I agree that changing the paper size to letter rather than
A4 and allowing needed packages to be installed without asking is not
the cause for this failure, since I did it that way on the one machine
where the alinstaller did work for 1.6.5 (A Windows 2000 system). The
failures were on two XP sp3 machines.

Now I have a serious problem:
Since I was unable to run Lyx (after altinstaller installation), I
uninstalled Lyx and Miktex 2.8, and let the altinstaller install
everything all over again, including Miktex.
I still cannot get Lyx to run, no matter how long I wait.
The one thing I did differently from the default installation options is
that I chose letter size paper, rather than A4, and changed the
needed package downloading to YES (rather than Ask me first).
Why this? The installer clearly state not to change anything. The
installer automatically configures MiKTeX and the change to letter
size can be done anytime later.
However, this cannot be the bug (I think). Try this:
- delete the folder named "C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\lyx16"
- do this for all users on your system
- finally restart LyX (this should recreate the just deleted folder)
When it still doesn't work, what do you get when you open a console
and start there LyX with the command
lyx -dbg 3
