Re: lilypond book error

[Mats Bengtsson]

Have you tried to directly call the program:
lilypond-book --pdf --output="C:\lilypondtest" C:\test.tex
from the command prompt. There shouldn't be any need to use the
Windows version of Python (just make sure to log out and log in again
once after you have installed LilyPond the first time, so that all path
related variables are set correctly).
