LyX is already configured even twice during the installation.
Good to hear. Is this new or has it always been like this?
This is new since January 3 this year. Before that day the installer
suffered from the mentioned configure.py bug.
I thought
that the problem below is just that the output is not seen. So to be
clear about what I'm asking: after installing LyX on Windows, when you
open LyX for the first time it takes just as long as when you open it
the second or third time (for example, two seconds) ?
No. The time-consuming package installation when LyX is installed the
first time on a PC is done during the installation so that you can see
the progress.
But as said, there is a bug in MiKTeX that prevents the package
installation during the installation on some 64bit Windows.
In any case, the installation may take 30 minutes if you have a fresh
MikTeX installation.
Isn't there the possibility to either use the miktex-sdk or to call the
miktex-updater with command-line options to install the packages we need
? I guess this would go much quicker than to run the configure script to
install the packages.
