| Hi Mark,
If running it as an administrator doesn't work, it might be the other warning is more vald. The message also says "check path", so that might be wrong. Running it as an administrator will "repair" permissions., but not paths. Your system probably just cannot find the right file. So: check the path!
In my version of Frescobaldi (on Linux!), the path settings are to be found in the menu's: "Settings / Configure Frescobaldi / Lilypond Preferences" which do show me a window indicating which Lilypond it will use. There is a "Configure" button for this. Check the path where to find the executable file very carefully, just one character (including caps, dots and spaces, etc.) makes an enormous difference. Search the file lilypond.exe on your system, open a terminal window and try: lilypond.exe --version to check if the file is really there where you expect it to be. (Substitute your filename and the complete path for "lilypond.exe". My advise: start with trying to avoid spaces and all special characters in the path.
If it doesn't work mail me a print-screen (offline) of the settings-dialog with details on the filename choosen.
Regards, Wim.

The following error message appeared: Starting lilypond-windows.exe 2.16.0 [Untitled]... Could not start lilypond-windows.exe. Please check path and permissions. Two previous suggestions, which I followed, were to open as Administrator and to set Frescobaldi preferences to use Lilypond. Again after entering code and clicking the error message appear. Thank you for your kind attention. Mark Stephen Mrotek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list address@hiddenhttps://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
