In fact I created an iso image of all the Windows executable needed
by LyX (with protext-1.2, I use only the miktex part there, just unzip
and install), to provide autonomous LyX installation from CD.
It's a near miss to have the miktex.exe unzipped, but no way, the
size is over 700Mb in that case (454 w/protext-1.2).

A few cons along with the Pros,
"It seems that the current MiKTeX-CD got too big for this year's ProTeXt.
Thomas Feuerstack asked me to free 50 MB. Impossible! I advised Thomas to
create a non-"Live" version of ProTeXt: the CD then contains a snapshot
of the current package repository. This approach has three drawbacks:
you cannot run MiKTeX from CD
the setup process takes longer (cabinet files have to be extracted)
you loose the ability to share MiKTeX in a network environment"
