I'm sure Uwe will want to fix the updater, but the question now is
whether we can isolate what caused the problem. This is always an

This I can believe. I shouldn't worry about it too much at this stage,
it might just be an isolated glitch. No one else seems to be having this
problem by the look of it.
True to the best of my knowledge, so we can wait and see if the problem
recurs with someone else (and, if so, look for common factors).
Just an afterthought, does installing LyX make changes to the registry?
I didn't think it did, but I do have software installed that is supposed
to protect the registry from changes.
I think the LyX installer now gives you the option to associate LyX with
the .lyx file extension. (I should know this, but it's late and my
memory is shot.) That's a registry change. There's some other stuff
that shows up in the registry, but I don't think LyX is directly
responsible for it. (Windows itself dumps all sorts of stuff in the
registry, including things about applications you've run.)
