The people from LyX have problems with the latest texlive and
the windows part. Is the windows part still supported, or
is this the same as proTeXt?

I couldn't expect that users upgrade their TeXLive every year.

Could you do this for me please. You know more details about this than I do.

proTeXt works fine with LyX. It is very similar to my LyXWinInstaller,
the difference is that I ship LyX as editor, protext comes with
TeXnicCenter and WinEdt.
