Hi Andreas,

Do you happen to use Avast Antivirus? At least that is what I expect my 
problem came from. If you use it then my hunch is that Avast scans those 
files but only from the first user until it is in their database.

Hi Scott,

I tested the installer, windows 7; pop up miktex 2.9: yes; updated miktex;
continued as normal and finished successful.
But opening lyx 2.3 showed the error-warning you´ll find attached; I
confirmed "ok" and then lyx 2.3 started normal; compiling User Guide was
successful.
The error "platex.exe not found" I received some weeks ago as well with
installing lyx 2.2.3

Best 
Andreas
