2008/11/14 Jonathan Kulp <address@hidden>:I have only upgraded a couple of times, and it was in response to this thread, just to test it out. It's possible that I upgraded one more time before that. I always use the Add/Remove program tool built into Windows, accessed by the Control Panel. On Linux I always run the uninstall script that comes with Lilypond, but I don't know how to do this on Windows. Like I said, I don't use Windows regularly (...poking in the Windows partition now...) Aha! I just noticed the uninstall.exe file in the Lilypond directory! Should I try running that and then doing a fresh reinstall of Lilypond? Does the Windows Add/Remove GUI use this uninstall.exe file or does it use something else? I can try this after lunch if you think it's a good idea.The standar way of uninstalling lilypond on windows is to launch the Uninstall program found into the lilypond entry of the Start button-> programs menu. I think the Windows builtin Control Panel -> uninstall feature should use this program.
Alright, I uninstalled by going through the program menu and choosing the uninstall script. The process looked exactly the same as when I did it from the Control Panel. (Either way it's incredibly slow. Why is it so much slower on Windows than on Linux?)
After uninstalling I found, though, that the Lilypond directory was still there in the Program Files directory, and from that I could tell the date on which I first installed LP on this laptop, 12 June 2008. I deleted the LP directory from Program Files, hoping that a *really* fresh install would fix the problem of the fontconfig cache rebuilding all the time. It didn't help. I reinstalled Lilypond (2.11.63-1) and ran my test file again, twice, and the cache was rebuilt on the second run just like the first. Anything else I should try or information I could provide to help track down the problem?
