Just rerun setup.exe and select "uninstall" for the packages
you want to remove. Note that as soon as you select the
lilypond package, you will also automatically select a few
other packages, for example tetex-bin and tetex-tiny.
Since the installation program cannot know if you still want
to use these when you uninstall lilypond, it means that you
have to mark those for uninstall as well.
