For windows(or dos for that matter) to 'know' what midi2ly(I presume an .exe file) is you have to either be in the same directory or the file has to be in a directory that dos knows about--- one of the directories shown when you type path at the command line. For instance:
C:\Users\hsmyers>path PATH=C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin;C:\Program Files\PHP\;C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo IDE 4.2\;C:\Perl\site\b in;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\; C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\L ilyPond\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin;C:\Program Files\PHP\;C:\Program Fil es\ActiveState Komodo IDE 4.2\;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Progra m Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Commo n Files\Adobe\AGL;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin C:\Users\hsmyers> If say, you had C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin in your path statement and you had midi2ly.exe in that directory then everything should work. --hsm On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 3:48 PM, Austin Wiegand <[email protected]> wrote: > Am I just not entering it right or does it not work for Windows?
