The cause is some part of the installation process pushing MikTeX's private bin directory on the front of the system PATH env var.
This is done by the MiKTeX installer. The LyX installers only start this MiKTeX-installer (which is a program of its own). Therefore you need to report the problem to the MiKTeX developer. But note that this can most probably not be changed. Many programs put itself at the first position of the PATH when being installed. This is often necessary to overcome problems you have now: that libraries of other programs are used instead of the ones that come with the program. (For example, many programs have a file named "convert.exe". The position in the PATH decides which convert.exe will be used.) This general Windows-problematic cannot be solved properly.
