This new bundle (v3) for LyX2.3 imposes *without giving the possibility to decline the offer,* the update of Miktex. Is it really what is wanted ? For all the previous bundle version there was the possibility to refuse this update and so to use Miktex as it is. 2018-03-04 16:13 GMT+01:00 Uwe

It's an old habit that probably goes back to the first versions of LyX on Windows (I used to work with LyX on Cygwin before). It seems to me that the bundle had been introduced so as not to have to worry about installing, at the good version, a whole lot of accessory software like the image

I tried again to install LyX2.3 on my PC running on WINDOWS 8.1. This time as you have suggested, I have disabled the virus scanner (windows defender) and installed only for the current user. The result is identical to the first installation attempt : neither LyX2.3 nor LyX2.2.3 document
