Hi,

Standard way to achieve such requirements are following:

1. Convert .exe to .msi. You can download some tool for internet what
make it done
2. Modify content of .msi with some editor. Microsoft have free tool, it
is called orsa.
3. Install modified msi. For final customization there are command
prompt tool called msiexec available. E.g. option /i install the packet and
option /quiet  provide installation with no UI. Also it provide other
options such as logging and rebooting a client machine.

I also converted lyx.2.0.3. installation exe to msi with free tool. I would
say result is not feature reach. You can compare it for example Google
earth or MS Office corresponding msi packets. Per my experience that mean
  your task is time consuming. Also make clear logic of orsa need extra time
because it have kind of database :)

I suggest on the first point convert exe to msi and install it with msiexec
tool on quiet mode with out no editing content of msi at all. If you have
luck, it solve your problems

have installed Miktex 2.9.4407 before LyX 2.0.3.

To those interested to play further with this, the sources for the 
installer are part of the LyX git repository. I am sure that help with 
the Windows installer, including having a silent variant of it, would be 
welcome.

The official lyx installer can install silently with /S option, but no
bundled application can be installed this way. (Because installers for
these applications may not accept /S).

I do not know how to specify language variant. Joost?
