Especially in your installer, you change MikTeX's setting, which is
just rude and forces me to wait.
I explained several times in detail why this is the best solution ...
Yes, but I find it unethical. I choose to set MikTeX to "Ask me" and you
just override this. Tomorrow you decide to upgrade my Windows 98 to
Windows 8 without asking me.
My goal is to have an installer that just does everything for you, so
no need to know the internals of LaTeX. When I started with the
Windows installer I said that my goal is to send my mother a link
where she can click on. In the installer she can click Next several
times and afterwards can start using LyX. She doesn't know any
internals how programs and the PC works but she don't need to.
Everything will be in shape and she can directly start writing. And
this works with my installer!
So, why can't we have a checkbox: "Don't check for installed MikTeX
packages (don't change this if you don't know what a MikTeX package is
and if you're not an expert)" which is turned on by default but which
allows me to skip this checking.
