Hi Frank, I know nothing about the Windows installer so I won't be
able to help. But we had a recent thread that is related:

https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg181907.html


Thx, but the concrete thread deals with the UNinstaller.  I haven't come
so far yet.  Still struggling with the INstaller. ;-)


My bad (not having read the follow-ups).  The basic problem is in fact 
the same as Øyvind has (broken /S switch).


Thanks for the pointer.

LyX 2.0.7 silent/unattended installation: /S doesn't work

[Frank Thommen]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to deploy LyX silently within our group.  I could 
find lots of references to the /S switch, which should be standard to 
NSIS installers.  However running the Installer (*not* the Bundle 
Installer) with this switch leaves me with a broken and unusable 
installation:


  * The menu items are not placed in a submenu in the Programs menu
  * MiKTeX/latex is not recognized and configured in LyX

How can one silently install LyX including the detection of MiKTeX/latex 
(which can be in an arbitrary path)?
