RE: Problems installing Version 2.19.49 on Windows 10
Gentlemen: Thanks for your advice. I resolved the situation. I uninstalled both Frescobaldi and Lilypond. I searched for any extraneous Lilypond files on my hard drive, temp folder, download folders, and other obvious locations and deleted them. I searched and then made sure that my computer contained no files related to Frescobaldi and Lilypond. I reinstalled Lilypond 2.19.49 and Frescobaldi and things are working well. I cannot pinpoint exactly where things went wrong. I start the uninstall and reinstall process because Lilypond was taking a relatively long time to compile music. I have a fast computer (I7 processor; SSD; 16 GB RAM) I received some Windows updates over night that may have contributed to solving the issue. Thanks again.

Hi Joe, Try this: - go to C:\Program Files (x86) - rename the v2.18 LP file (e.g. ..\LilyPond 2.18.2) - run LP HTH, Pierre 2016-10-20 1:49 GMT+02:00 Joseph N.

Problems installing Version 2.19.49 on Windows 10
Hello: I am having issues installing version 2.19.49 on Windows 10. I repeated the installation twice and received the same results. I followed these steps: 1. Uninstall the previous version. 2. Download lilypond-2.19.49-1.mingw.exe. 3. Click lilypond-2.19.49-1.mingw.exe and follow the prompts. The installation process appears to operate normally. I don't see any errors during the process. 4. Restart the computer. 5. Open a command prompt and enter the following: C:\Users\Owner>lilypond -v GNU LilyPond 2.18.2 . Is it possible that the EXE is mislabeled or what am I doing incorrectly? Thanks to anyone who can help.
