No, the configuration works correct. It simply asks LaTeX packages are
installed or not.
And no, you need these packages, otherwise many features of LyX are not

So why not just hide the windows and show the output in the installer log?
Because the user needs to be informed what is currently done and which package is currently

Upon first start-up of LyX, the configuration did indeed take a very long
time... over 25 minutes.
I would suggest that we start lyx before configure and show the output
of configure.py in a lyx windows. Otherwise, people tend to close the
DOS window or kill lyx.exe if it stays there for 25

Hello,
I appreciate the help very much. I think it might have gotten me closer to
a clean install, but there were still a few complications. I sincerely hope
that this message does not trouble those that are uninterested, and I'll
