The reason is that the default MiKTeX package server I used was permanently turned off. So new users of LyX won't currently get any missing LaTeX package but a cryptic error message from MiKTeX.
- known problem: if LyX 2.0.x is installed and you install 2.1rc1, the .lyx file associations will not be updated but if LyX 2.1 is installed on a new PC the file associations work (work is in progress)
- update to new MiKTeX installer that fixes a bug with updating Packages
- don't ship cbgreek because it is so huge that its download would last 10 minutes or more
- the installer will now recognize an already installed 64bit MiKTeX
- the installer will still install 32bit MiKTeX for new installations because biblatex does not yet work with 64bit MiKTeX
LaTeX.nsh:
- fix a MiKTeX configuration Problem on 64bit Windows issue discovered in #8417
- don't overwrite MiKTeX's package repository the user might have set purposely
- remove some unused code and simplify some code
- update to JabRef 2.9.2
- LaTeX.nsh: fixe http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
- settings.nsh: adapt path so that one needs to adapt less when using the installer source zip file
- add a readme how to build the installer
- LaTeX.nsh: fix bug that installer stopped working if LyX was installed the first time on a computer
- init.nsh:
- fix failing installation of Slovakian spellcheck dictionary
- expand list of available dictionaries as requested by users
- dictionaries.nsh: prevent case that the installer could run an infinite loop if the installation of dictionaries was interrupted
- settings.nsh: use a HTTP repository for MiKTeX instead of FTP because many companies deny FTP access by default in their firewalls
- avoid doubled semicolon in LaTeX editor path list
- correct path to the JabRef installation folder in LyX's PATH
- updated to JabRef 2.8.1
- rename the installer executables from LyX-205-x-Bundle.exe
- settings.nsh: update to LyX 2.0.5
- thesaurus.nsh:
- don't download already existing dictionaries when installing over an existing LyX installation
- the list of available dictionaries is 120
- detection:
- detect existing dictionaries
- fix detection of Gimp and Photoshop
- init.nsh: detect existing dictionaries and modify the list of available dictionaries accordingly in the installer sections
- fix a bug in detection of Gnumeric
- update to latest third-party products

- accept compound words is Aspell-only and thus not needed
- we use pdfview to show PDF files but this is only necessary if Acrobat or Adobe Reader is used
- update to latest MiKTeX version
- ImageMagick requires registry settings

- get rid if GSview (this will not be bundled)
- get rid of now unnecessary setting of PDF file format settings via lyxrc.dist
- fix deletion of LyX's preferences folder when the user selected this option in the uninstaller
- some fixes for the standard installer (that doesn't have the JabRef installation section)

- lyx.nsi: transform to Unicode
- settings.nsh: update to latest MiKTeX version

* updates for new dependencies packages
* use NSISdl plug-in for downloads

* remove old text in uninstaller
* remove language selection in installer (now integrated in LyX prefs)
* updates for MSVC 2010

* setting for compilation on Vista
* select random SourceForge mirror
git-svn-id: svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk@25190 a592a061-630c-0410-9148-cb99ea01b6c8
* Add option to bundle required ImageMagick/Ghostscript files without the need to modify registry keys that belong to the original applications. This allows for full support for installation by limited users, gives different users the possibility to have a different setup of all LyX tools and reduces download size. The necessary files will be included in the dependency package.
* Python, ImageMagick and Ghostscript will now all be compiled using the same MSVC compiler and can use the same C runtimes. This reduces the installer size.
* Compile Python files during installation to improve performance. Limited users may not have access to the installation folders so the files cannot be compiled afterwards.
* Only the settings that typically need to be changed for LyX releases are now in settings.nsh.
* Rename launcher executable to LyXLauncher.exe to match the alternative installer.
* Minor fixes and cleanup.
