Because I already wrote lots of NSIS-based Windows installers, it is

solution, we can really take LyX/Win to the next level.

I've seen you on the NSIS-lists and know that you'll build us a perfect 
installer. I now understand what you want to achieve. A thing that is 
missing in my installer is indeed a method to update only LyX or only a 
third party program when there's a problem with it.

Due to a delay in my email I also answered you in the old installer 
discussion thread. Please consider the specialites I have in my 
installer to avoid several problems of installed third party programs 
and especially the code for TeXLive; it was really hard to support 
TeXLive because of its completely different installers and registry 
settings of every version (they change it every year :-( )
