Re: Permission-denied error while using Lilypond 2.12 with MikTeX

[Phil Holmes]

I can tell you what the error means: that some program or other has the PDF file you're trying to create already open, and so LilyPond can't delete it to replace it with the new copy.  With me, it invariably means that I have it open in Adobe Reader.  Don't know whether this applies in your case, though, since I don't use MikTex.

Subject: Permission-denied error while using Lilypond 2.12 with MikTeX

I am attempting to use LilyPond in Windows XP with MikTeX but am getting the following error:

C:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/backend-library.scm:115:15: In procedure delete-file in _expression_ (delete-file pdf-name):

C:/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/backend-library.scm:115:15: Permission denied

Below are the steps I took within MikTeX to get to this point.

1. Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting tab

2. Clicked "+" within the "Path for TeX and related Programs" section.

3. Navigated LilyPond installation's bin directory and hit ok.

4. Clicked "+" within "Processing Tools" section.

5. Added values below to text fields and hit ok.

Name: LilyPond

Program: lilypond.exe

Arguments: $fullname

After this I open my *.ly file, select "LilyPond" in the dropdown box next to the Play button in MikTeX, and get the error I have pasted above.  Has anyone been able to successfully use LilyPond in MikTeX?  Does anyone know what the message above means or how to get around it?

Thank you.
