@Phil: do we really need a new thread for this?
@Jeff: please _always_ reply to the list and not to individual participants
(you can always cc them, but that's probably not needed)
 
@Jeff: I took it from your post that you're using a GUI like Frescobaldi
(2.0.11 seems to be the newest release!?) and there I get the mentioned
LilyPond.log

starting LilyPond from a command line either as /lilypond -dgui/ or
/lilypond-windows/ puts the messages to a log file.

starting /lilypond/ only will display the messages in the console.

if there are such problems as you describe with uac or administrator rights
I would un- and re-install LilyPond  from zero - LilyPond does not need
administrator rights to be run (only to be installed in C:\Program files...
) - and also make sure the files you are LilyPonding are not in a
administrator (write-)accessible folder.
