I'm afraid that we have found cases where the windows installer simply doesn't add the path at all. I believe that if you incorporate the latests version Frescobaldi (and I would certainly recommend that as a 'front end' for Windows users) you can configure it there in the preferences. Install LilyPond Install Frescobaldi use Frescobaldi's preferences to make sure the LilyPond exe is being found, if not point to it using Frescobaldis easy-to-use windows-like-browse-to-find-me GUI and click ok.
