Is this _not_ true of most LyX installers? In other words, is it
generally the case that a LyX installer or LyX itself will complain and
even not allow a LyX document to be opened and typed into when LaTeX is
not installed?
You misunderstood me. The installer has an option to use LyX without LaTeX. You can use LyX as
normal, except of previewing/exporting. Some warnings may also occur that a LateX-package is not
available and you won't get any output, but you can ignore this. Just test it out.
