Seems to be a problem of the MiKTeX repositories: LyX's first run of configure.py runs through without installing any LaTeX-package. That's why I couldn't see in this case no feedback from the installer. I'll investigate further.

Yes I noticed this too now when doing a fresh installation on XP 64-bit.
Let me know if you can find out what's going on with MiKTeX here.

So for now the ToDo-list for the merged installer is:

1. check if Inkscape is already installed and use it for SVG images (I can no longer provide/maintain support for checking for Adobe Illustrator)
2. implement to ask to update MiKTeX at the end of installation process
3. option in the uninstaller not to uninstall the metafile2eps printer
4. include JabRef to the bundle installer version (there will be an option not to install it as in my installer) 5. option to start LyX after installing it (which will be unchecked by default) 6. sanitize the hunspell dictionaries installation (to be discussed further how to do this)
7. ask on the users list for the GUI language setting issue

So not much to do for now. Joost, can I start to implement point 1 and 2?

Yes please go ahead!
1 and 2 seem simple
3 could be automatic by detecting a different version being installed
4 probably reuse the "external" app code in the installer
5 requires a separate thread without UAC because of the issues discussed earlier
