Is it simple, with Windows, to calculate (and post) a message digest for
that downloaded file, either MD5 or one of the SHA versions?

Cheers,
David.

Hi Peter,

Out of curiosity, I have just downloaded 2.19.65 via 
http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/mingw/

Windows Explorer says "33,556 KB" for lilypond-2.19.65-1.mingw.exe
Perhaps you should try a new download (working link see above).

Installed it by specifying destination folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\2.19.65\

Installation completed, version (i.e. path) added to Frescobaldi's "LilyPond
versions to use" list, everything in best working order, LilyPond log says
"Starting lilypond.exe 2.19.65 ..." when compiling.
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. 

All the best,
Torsten

Hi, Peter!

One thought, that you’ve possibly considered, but I’ll mention it anyway...

In the more recent versions of 2.19.XX, something has caused a much more
substantial wait time which is required for LilyPond to create its font
cache for that particular LP version, and is required for any version when
it is run for the first time or when there is a change to what fonts are
installed in the system font folder.

What I’m getting at is that you may be not seeing anything in the command
prompt because nothing is printed while this font cache is being created.
If you aren’t seeing an error when you try to run LP, give it some time,
perhaps even 10 minutes just to be sure. It just might be this that’s
causing you grief. Once the font cache is created, you’ll see the much
quicker score compile times you’re used to.

If you’ve gone through this exercise already and/or you’re experiencing
something else then please ignore this. It’s good to know that what I’ve
described is expected behavior anyway.

HTH,
Abraham

The frescobaldi Issue and Cannot load the 2.19 lily development version

[peter.gentry]

I have been using a saved download of 2.19.65-1.mingw.exe  25,348 KB.

 

Installing today resulted in failure, no response from the command promt. 

 

So I went back to 2.18.2 this did work from command prompt and Frescobaldi.

 

It seems there may be something in the 2.19.65-1 file that I have saved.
Windows doesn't like but without any error code it is impossible to track it
down.  

 

I cannot load any 2.19 version from the lilypond.org web site.
