I just tried to install both 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 on WinXP and have the
problem that it then refuses to start because windefault is missing. I
assume this refers to windefault.ui. What has gone wrong here?
This is bug 720:

windefault.ui-file was used by the old LyX Windows installer and should
be removed when you uninstall LyX.
It seems that soething has gone wrong on your system. To fix it, either
uninstall LyX 1.4.1 that might be on your system or delete the folder
C:\documents and settings\username\Application Data\LyX1.4.x manually,
or reinstall LyX 1.4.2 using this installer:

that still supports windefault.ui.
