Why "force"? When there is a MiKTeX update the repositories refuse to work with older MiKTeX installations? Why isn't the MiKTeX installation itself just updated without LyX needing to do anything?
Because I triggered a redevelopment of the way how packages are installed. Therefore the command line parameters to do this will be changed. However, I see that no MiKTeX installer with these changes has been published yet. I will act when this is the case.
