Yes;-) You are right, these programs are needed to run LyX. However, the corresponding folders in the dependencies zip file are not needed to run LyX, they are only needed to build the installer. In fact they are useless for running LyX, since these programs do also need some registry keys to be set. For running LyX, you have two options to install the mentioned programs: You can either use the full LyX installer which includes them, or you can use the individual thirdparty installers. Georg
