Yes, my memory served me well. I have just the basename of the
executable, with the LilyPond installation having set the PATH
environment variable. This then works with my hand-built denemo from
(unchanged) 0.8.6 sources. The difference will no doubt be the gtk
installation process. I sweated blood over getting the loaders to work,
and at one time I recall the spawn helper programs went AWOL with no
helpful messages to say why the spawned processes were not starting...

So, the bottom line is that just the entry

lilypond

(unadorned) in the preference box should enable it to spawn lilypond.exe
if the PATH is set.
