I don't know if it is a good reason, but the alternative installer shows up an annoying console window when it opens.
Really? This should only be visible for a few milliseconds. Only at the first start after an installation the console Windows is shown to indicate the current installation status of LaTeX-packages.
In general, I think the standalone installer is more "clean". This is why I prefer it. :-)
They do basically the same (also the hiding of the console window), the differences are listed here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller#detailed-comparison regards Uwe
