Good news-- I saw Uwe's note that the standard installer for 1.6.5 for
Windows is now finally available. So I uninstalled Lyx once again, and
using the standard installer was able to install and run Lyx on both
Windows XP machines, on which the altinstaller was giving me such a hard
time.
I now have Lyx working again on both machines, and all is well. What
is/was the source of the problem with the altinstaller might be a
subject for further research, but for now I have a working system again.

When calling
lyx -dbg 3
from the console, are you already in the folder where the lyx.exe file
resides?
"Lyx is not recognized as an internal or external command" is the
error message when you e.g. called lyx from C:\hello while lyx.exe is
e.g. in C:\Programs\LyX 1.6.4
Can you please try it again and send me the whole log you get in the
console when calling LyX?
Where does the lyx.exe reside?
Some general questions: Are you sure that no other LyX version is
installed on your system? Where is MiKTeX 2.8 installed (what is the
path to the latex.exe)?
