Re: MiKTeX won't download with LyX

[Excellent]

To get around this problem, you need to install MiKTeX first. Then you install 
the standard installer ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.0.3/LyX-2.0.3-2-
Installer.exe and when it asks you what Latex system to use you select the 
directory you installed MiKTeX to.
