Joost/Uwe, can you confirm that a user can manually run a dictionary
installer? If this is the case, then we could see about adding
instructions for the user of a bundled installer to also download the
relevant dictionary installers.
The bundled installer allows you to download dictionaries. Dictionaries
can also be downloaded and installed manually.
Another alternative might be to provide a single archive with all the
installers (30-60 MB). Or possibly a single installer that installs all
dictionaries that we have... It's way overkill, but maybe more
convenient than running 4-5 dictionary installers manually.
I think that's overkill.
Uwe, does your complete installer contain dictionaries as well?
If that's the case, Rafael might simply have been better off using that
installer... Perhaps that's even the case with the MikTeX packages, I
don't know.
There is no installer that includes all dictionaries and MiKTeX packages.
If you need to install on a computer without internet access, download
the dictionaries you like and transfer them to the system along with the
installer.
MiKTeX handles package installation itself (we should not interfere with
that). Instructions about downloading all packages is available here:
http://docs.miktex.org/2.6/manual/installing.html
This is however not always necessary (see below).
What's not obvious is that these aren't needed. I believe it's ok for
MikTeX to fail to install these, and LyX will still run. Please correct
me if this wasn't the case for you.
That's correct. LyX just checks whether the packages are available and
MiKTeX then download them. If you download everything you will be able
to use all LyX features. Basic things will work without these packages.
