I download all these things once, when I first install LyX. Why would I want to download them again when I upgrade LyX? I'm likely to tweak MikTeX and the Aspell dictionaries as I use them; overwriting them will be a *really* bad idea. If you're willing to make a 'smart' installer that will go and download stuff, that's fine, but I'd object strongly to a single monolithic installer that took for ever to download because it contains 250MB (MikTeX) of stuff I don't want. In case you hadn't noticed, I think that this is just a bad idea and a waste of time. -- Angus
