New version for testing here:

Hopefully solves both problems with the earlier version. Please see
"Installer 3" thread, though, for some caveats.
Thanks. It did remove the old .exe but seems to still use the
unversioned user directory...
Yes, I hadn't done anything about that, except to change configure.py so
that it copies over
information from the versioned one to the unversioned one. I'm working
on it now.
It didn't copy my system. But maybe that was because I already had
both directories due to the previous install.
Yes, that would have done it. But I've removed that code now, since we
do use versioned directories, and only people unfortunate enough to have
tested these installers will now have an unversioned user directory.
That said, I guess it would be worth our having some routine that copied
versioned user directories on major-release upgrades (e.g., copy
"LyX2.2" to "LyX2.3"), as we do on OSX. The code I had written could
easily be transformed to do that. You think I should do that? It
probably that only benefits people when we release 2.4, whenever that
is, but some late adopters of 2.3.x might benefit, too. (That would be
in 2.3.2, I guess.)

This has always been an issue with major upgrades on windows, requiring
manually transferring the contents of, e.g., the LyX2.2 folders to the
new and empty LyX2.3 folders. The automatic transfer of the contents has
been mentioned (wistfully) on the list before.
