Babysit Windows Install Wizard

If, after installing LilyPond, it doesn't run: don't panic - don't complain. Our Q+A team has devised an easy and well tested solution. We advise you to reinstall Windows, and this time follow the instructions of the wizard minutely. You can't go wrong. Good luck!

Footnotes

  1. You could save the file where the dialog box suggests, ie, the almost at random place wherever you happened to save some previous file, but we're not in the business of saving clicks, and chances are you can't find it lateron, so we don't do that.

  2. You could download everything on the desktop, but that will clutter it to a degree that your helpdesk will probably tell you that you need to reinstall windows, so we don't do that.

  3. You can get a lot of additional free clicks here, by deselecting some packages, but the installation would be broken if you don't install everything, so we don't do that.
