I bet you already had a pdf reader installed?
yes - we are exploiting the fact that acroRd32.exe exists on most window
boxes, and guessing at that.
  Please try to change the
external pdf viewer to something nonexistent.
when I do that, it gives the right message about the pdf viewer. And
the .denemo/denemoprint.pdf *is* generated, i.e. lilypond-windows has
run successfully.
  On my testsystem there is
no pdf viewer at all. Strange thing is that pdf export did not work,
by which you mean that lilypond-windows did not run. Yes, that would be
strange, I think you misunderstood the symptoms. (<= what convinced you
it had not run?)
too. I think this is possible without a viewer, right?

A sudden idea: We try to find out what the standard pdf reader is, guess
where it could be etc. But there must be a command just to call the
filename and let Windows do the opening. The same thing that happens
when you doubleclick on a file. Maybe we can use this?
I have asked several times about this, and searched on the net. On some
systems this is called "file associations", but I have not been able to
find any clues as to how to "double-click" a file programatically under
windows or under any linux wm either.

I haven't read recent denemo-mailinglist-mails thoroughly, but:
for gnome it is "gnome-open filename.extension", for Windows I think it was "start filename.extension", on Mac it might be "open filename.extension" (which also exists on most/all linux distributions, but "open" will try to find an application able to open the final inside the terminal).
I hope that is at least of some help to you.
