It almost certainly won't be Frescobaldi it'll be where/how windows
has installed your later version of LilyPond.

Install LilyPond as normal and then open a 'cmd' prompt (if you don't
know what that is then click on the start menu in the task bar and
either look for the 'run' menu option and type cmd or you can search
for 'cmd.exe' and open it.

Then from that command prompt type

path

This will list all the 'paths' to the applications you have installed.
It'll be a long list, and you should (hopefully) see something like

C;/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/bin; in there (I may have got that
slightly inaccurate - I am doing this from memory) but you will see
'LilyPond' somewhere.

If you don't see it then this is the problem and you will need to add
it manually.

I am about to leave for work, but if you still have problems or no one
else answers I'll be around in an hour or so.
