Those are both very unusual paths.  Are you sure that is where LilyPond 
is installed?

From a normal cmd.exe prompt, you can search for the executable with:

  dir /r /s /b c:lilypond.exe

Or from a PowerShell prompt, you can do the equivalent:

  Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path C: -Filter lilypond.exe

NOTE: For both of these, replace `C:` with a different drive letter as 
appropriate.
