This solution worked for me. Windows 8.1. LyX Version 2.1.3 bundled with
MikTex.
Thanks! :)

But this problem only occurs for new installations and thus only with the
bundle installer.
All this doesn't answer my question why we can't have the user decide what he
wants to do.

I still don't understand why we can't have Miktex to ask to install a
package when needed ? At least we can ask the user if he wants to install
all possible packages and wait half an hour. So many people are put off by
having to wait so long the first time they try LyX.

But the installer is already telling you that it can take a long time.
You can also see the install progress in the installer.

Then, working as a NON administrative user, I start LyX. LyX will

A LyX window does not appear on the screen, and Lyx does not appear as

I always set MiKTeX to "no" before a LyX install, but that's a personal
preference. The cardinal objection I've heard to it as a default is that a new
user might be confused when LyX "installed" but then couldn't open its help
files or create new documents.
