LyX installation aborted after the MikTex installation
I have Windows 7, 32 bit operating system install in my machine. I donwloaded Lyx-2.0.6-Bundle-2 from LyX website couple of days ago. Today I tried to install it couple of times, but still No progress on it.
After extracting basic files LyX installer prompting to install MikTex choosing default options, which I did and it installed successfully,
MikTex after exiting the Miktex installation LyX giving the error saying that no LaTex distrbution found. then deleting extracted files but hung at removing C:Program Files\LyX 2.0
What's the solution for this.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
Re: LyX installation aborted after the MikTex installation
Exactly same problem.
Windows 7 (64bit), CZ language. Miktex installs without any problem, I can use it, it works, but Lyx is just unable to find it in its default directory ( C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX ).

Re: LyX installation aborted after the MikTex installation
My suggestion is to post a bug report (with as much detail as possible) at http://www.lyx.org/trac
As for a work around, you might consider uninstalling everything. Then, as Administrator, install MikTeX separately (before LyX). Then install LyX.
You might also consider installing LyX 2.1beta1 (in the same way as above).
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1 ... ller-1.exe
(note that LyX 2.1beta2 was just released yesterday. My based-on-nothing guess is that there will be Windows installer for it within a week)
Please let us know if you find a fix.
