Re: problems when installing Lilypond on windows

[Mats Bengtsson]

This is probably a consequence of that you had the environment
variable set when you installed the package tetex-tiny in Cygwin.

Just klick on the cygwin icon to open a cygwin command window and
then run the command
texconfig init
Then, the TeX environment should hopefully be setup correctly.
Unless you have very bad luck, this should solve the problems
with double-clicking on .ly files, too.
