No, you don't need admin privileges to _read_ registry entries, we need

??? I thought that the path_prefix rc value was invented to overcome this
problem, so setting a global PATH is not needed?
Yes this was the reason. But as I wrote, LyX istself don't need admin
privileges. I need to write some to install aspell, python, imagemagick,
and GSview.
For GSview and aspell admin privileges are needed to register the
programs to Windows sofware list, so that you can deinstall them like
any other Windows program.
Note that my installer includes the official GSview installer that is
started when it is needed. Like for most Windows programs also the
installer of GSview requires admin privileges. So I can't understand the
problematic of the adminn privileges: Try for example to install
Ghostscript, or Inkscape with their official installers - they all need
admin privileges.
