I've rechecked my system and found an odd feature. Lilypond 13.54 is

system has?
it's in both!
Did you uninstall the previous versions before installing LP, or modify
the
PATH? I'm just wondering whether the install checks whether a work like
"lilypond" is already in the path, and doesn't do an update if it exists?
this time i uninstalled - usually i just delete or move the latest version
to an external drive - then i cleaned the path (8 times c:\program
files\lilypond\usr\bin) and then i installed lilypond (without creating a
shortcut) - and the path was ok again, i.e. with 1 lilypond record.
lilypond certainly does not check the path or clean up when installing or
uninstalling.
-------
The installer must do something. Else you'd either never have LilyPond in
you PATH or you'd have dozens of them as it concatenated the PATH every time
you installed new.
@Ming Can you tell us if you run add/remove programs before you install a
later version? and if so what version did you have installed before 2.13.54?

===================================
If you don't uninstall, it does appear simply to add the latest path to your
path variable. I ended up unable to run things like PING from my command
line, and found it was because there were so many lilypond paths that the
PATH variable had overflowed.
