Unfortunately, I have never been able to get convert-ly to work. It's mostly my computer ignorance. My files don't seem to be in simple places and I never get the parameters correct.
so I have the file in C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton
it's called
it's version 2.10.25
I just tried to follow the instructions from the docs here's what I think it says to do in run under xp
convert-ly --from C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\
mytemplate.ly\version 2.10.25 --to C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\my
template.ly version 2.12.2
That didn't work so what am I not understanding?
As you seem to have spaces in directory and/or filenames the arguments need to be quoted. Maybe that is your issue?
e.g. convert-ly -e "C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\
mytemplate.ly"
Sorry for total ignorance.

The standard solution to all such compatibility problems is to run the file through convert-ly, to automatically update the syntax.
(Just remember to specify \version "2.10.0" or something like that in the file header, so that convert-ly knows what to do.)
