Re: Version 2.22.1 problem

[Anders Eriksson]

    One thing that I do that might help is NOT letting Lilypond install
    under Program files (x86), whichis default. I always change this to
    C:\Lilypond-version
    e.g.
    C:\lilypond-2-22-1
    
    Windows has special security rules for the Program files (86)
    directory. Which teoretically would be satisfied by running as
    Administrator, but I had problems so I installed in the root
    instead...

    PS! I looks like there is a space before bin in the path...

Ok, I will check. My Windows version is 8. The errors are:

"Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\ bin\libexpat-1.dll

Click Abort to stop the installation,

Retry to try again, or

Ignore to skip this file."

I run Ubuntu and cannot test anything either. Could you paste
the precise error message though? That could give a clue.
Also, what is your version of Windows?

Best,
