When I start the installer, it complains that lyx is already installed, and

can't do that.
But this means that LyX was once installed with admin permissions. There is no
other way to
uninstall it without admin privileges in this case.
I think I now know why you got this: LyX was first installed as admin and later on again without
admin privileges. This is now no longer possible in the new installer version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/
Have you in the meantime been able to uninstall LyX? If not try this:
1. uninstall LyX as admin
2. remove in the registry all occurrences of LyX
3. login as user without admin privileges
4. check if you can find a "lyx.exe" on your PC, if so, delete the whole Lyx
installation folder
5. remove again in the registry all occurrences of LyX (this time you will clean up residues in the
user-specific area of the registry)
