As far as I can tell fro the strange error messages you get, you
probably saved the
test.ly file to your desktop as an RTF file, and not as a plain text file.

If you've copy/pasted it from the web site into a new document, please
make sure that
you save this as a text document.

After that, please try running Lilypond again.

Hope this helps!
