No,  I think I was not clear enough. The second sentenc you cited above
bear on my insallation on a WinXP system, where your installer worked
perfectly.

On the Vista machine, I had no Python installed and the lyx2lyx script
failed. I now installed Microsoft's VC++ redistributable package, as
suggested by Paul Rubin, and now the lyx2lyx script works. So I think
there is a problem with the python.exe and/or python26.dll which are in
the bin directory of LyX 1.6.

As I said, the scenario was different for me, as I had /no/ Python
installed.

Thanks for your effort,
