Re: test.ly fails on Windows 10

[Phil Holmes]

I get the same.  I suspect this is now a "feature" of windows' arcane permissions settings.  The simplest thing is to run lilypond from the command line, with an explicit path to the program - something like:

C:\"Program Files (x86)"\LilyPond2.22.0\usr\bin\liliypond

You can either run this from the location of the ly file (not the desktop!) or have an explicit fully stated path to the ly file.   Alternatively you could add the path to the lilypond .exe to your path statement.

Greetings,

I installed Lilypond 2.22.0 on Windows 10, then attempted to execute the install test described in test.ly.  The test failed; the file test-tmp-9203207 appeared on the desktop, but not test.pdf.

Here is test.log

# -*-compilation-*-
Processing `C:/Users/Bruce Pike Home/Desktop/test.ly'
Parsing...

Converting to `/Users/Bruce Pike Home/Desktop/test.pdf'...

It appears that the conversion to PDF is failing.  Any suggestions for fixing the install?

Thanks in advance for your help.
