LilyPond is only meant to process text files (with a .ly extension).
It's normal if you don't see any window open (other than the small
notepad-like editor, that is just here to show you an example of
LilyPond code).
If you do have .ly files that you want to turn into a pdf score,
please tell us exactly which file causes Lilypond not to work.
If you do not have written any .ly code yet, then you have to learn a
bit the LilyPond syntax.
It's simple and easy; please have a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Tutorial
where everything is explained.
Good luck,
Valentin
