Windows users may be incompetent, but not stupid. "No viewer found" is
a *common* behavior whenever someone double clicks a file without a
proper viewer. Any windows user knows that s/he needs a proper viewer
to continue.

In particular, your nothing there, install a program, re-configure, a
menu item appear is quite *alien* to windows users.

Again, a ghostview is not essentail to lyx, and should not be required
during lyx installation. A friendly reminder should be enough.
