You file test.ly is an HTML file, not a LilyPond input file! If you right-click on the link to the test.ly file and choose "Save target as ...", you should get an undestroyed version on your hard disk.
I'm certain that the bug report will look fine as soon as you add the correct spaces in the command.
As you already have noticed, LilyPond is fairly different from most other programs you have used before in Windows. It's definitely one of the programs where you have to read the manual, at least the Tutorial, before you can expect to be able to do almost anything useful. On the other hand, once you know how to use it, you could expect very nice results.

Hi
so I have now installed Lilypond - thanks Mats - and re-run the test.ly file
it opens adobe acrobat and then gives the following message
there was an error opening this document. The file does not exist
I enclose the bug report and the test log
Regards
Ros
