The aim of both installers is to install a fully functional LyX version and to keep the tricky LaTeX-package handling away from new users.

I agree. It's a good thing to install the necessary packages. My installer uses a similar approach; the command line output from the configure.py is captured and displayed in the installer window itself. So the user is able to see what's going on.
