You don't need that. You only need to make sure that LyX can find the "sh" program" from minsys and the "convert" program from ImageMagick. The installer of LyX 1.3.6 tries to set up the path prefix (Edit->Preferences->Paths->Path Prefix) to include the needed paths. Did that not work? If not, does it work if you enter the paths manually? Georg
