Don't do this! It doesn't matter in which path/folder it is installed. Two installations are one too much and could cause troubles.
I agree with this one. If you already have Acrobat Reader installed in C:\Program Files you could use something like the attached acroread.bat batch file to launch it. Just put it in a regularly name directory without spaces (like C:\Adobe or even where your LyxWin32 lives) and use it as the pdf viewer in LyX preferences.
Avoid to edit the configure.bat manually!!!
Actually I did have to edit the configure the configure.bat manually. The problem is when LyX and user's %HOME%/.lyx do not live on the same drive - Edit->Reconfigure fails from within LyX then. A minor change from %~p0 to %~dp0 everywhere in the batch file fixes that. I already posted this some time and was hoping Ruurd will consider this for future versions.
So the only remaining mystery for me is the usage errors from updated sed 4.0.9
