This mailing list is about Lilypond.

What happens if you run just the lilypond executable?

In windows you can open a CMD.EXE window on the folder and run lilypond on the file. If the executable is not in your %PATH%, you will have to use the full path.

Alternately, you should be able, in Explorer, to right click on the .ly file and invoke the "Generate PDF" command from the popup menu.

Be sure that no program has any of the output files (MIDI, PDF, ...) open, because this may prevent Lilypond from being able to write to the files. (Install a real OS to avoid that problem).

If you follow this procedure and get a PDF, there is no Lilypond problem. Maybe the surrounding tools are "eating" the PDF.

Also, when was the last time you rebooted that Windows? At least once every few days is a good idea.
