RE: Frescobaldi sudden failures on all machines

Nope I did not ignore any previous error messages. Something about Windows
10 and file permissions may be at the root. I had to run Fresco with
Administrator Privileges in the past. One possibility that may shed some
light is that I have installed Kaspersky Secure connection on both machines
just before disaster struck (just to watch football).

I have since re-installed Lily  from an old 2.19.56 installation package
followed by Fresco again. This time when I run Fresco a new popup appears
"running Lilypond this could take some time - nothing else happens.

I will try running from a command prompt but as it stands "Lilypond does not
exist" is the response.

I suspect this is just because failed assertions now make LilyPond abort
with an error message and you previously ignored them (which was almost a
given since distributed binaries of LilyPond completely omitted them).
