Windows installation problems Re:

[Mats Bengtsson]

Just try again! The good news is that files that already have been 
downloaded and installed
will not be downloaded again, so it will be much faster the next time 
you run setup.exe.

If it still doesn't work and you get an empty log file, click on the 
Cygwin icon or Start
menu item to start a Cygwin command window. Does it display any error 
messages
directly at start-up? Then, copy your file test.ly to the folder with 
your login name
below C:\cygwin\home\ and run the command
lilypond text.ly
in the Cywin command window. It should printout a number of lines, but 
if it says
"Error" or "Warning", then you have some problem with the installation 
or with your
input file. If it works OK, then you should have a test.pdf file in the 
same folder.

Please respond to the mailing list, i.e. press "Reply All" if you need 
more assistance.
