Re: Install problem

Just remembered that I didn't use the default directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Lilypond
I used C:\lilypond instead.
So Phils idea of a rights issue is probably right!

The only thing that happens when you drop a .ly file on the shortcut is that it compiles the .ly file. If it's OK, then you will get a .pdf file otherwise it will create a .log file with the errors.

There will not be any dialog or anything that says that LilyPond is working!

Maybe a stupid question, but did the OP check for these files?

I recommend that the OP download and install Frescobaldi!
A very nice IDE for LilyPond!

I suspect this is a Windows 10 issue, and the clue to fixing it may well be that nothing happens unless the shortcut is run as Admin.  On my Vista box, I can right-click the shortcut, click "Properties, "Advanced" and select "Run as administrator".  Could you try that?

Subject: Install problem

Hi …

 

I have downloaded 2.18.2 and installed it.  When I double click on the shortcut created nothing happens.  If I right click (I’m on Windows 10) and Run as Administrator I get a DOS window (blank) and a Welcome to Lilypond file – which tells me to save it as test.ly to my desktop and then drop it on the shortcut.  I’ve done that and nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Peter
