Just rerun setup.exe again (and choose another mirror) and
make sure to select the latest version of the lilypond package.
Note that it will not at all take that long as it did the
first time, since the installation program will only upgrade
the necessary packages compared to your existing installation.

The problem might actually have been that you happened to click
twice on the lilypond package, since clicking several times
alternates between the available versions and deinstalling.

It's version 1.8.2, I believe, and no, I downloaded it off the lilypond web site last week, following the windows installation instructions. Maybe it's the mirror I chose, but I don't know if I could figure out which one it was again. But at least one of the mirrors is still serving up an old version.
I learned about the ly2dvi command after spending some time reading the manual. For now I am happy with using the ly2dvi command... I will download a newer version when I have the time. Is there anything I should do when upgrading from one version to the next? Or do I just run the cygwin setup again?

You must have found a very old version of LilyPond.
The current instructions are fully relevant for lilypond version 2.0.1,
which is what you will find on all Cygwin mirrors that have been
updated during the last months.

I got it to work now, but perhaps the instructions on the website for an install on Windows (at least on my version of Windows, which is W2K) need to be updated. Double-clicking on the file does not generate the pdf, neither does entering the command 'lilypond test.ly'. But I found that if I enter 'ly2dvi -p test.ly' then I get the desired pdf file. 

This is not clear in the instructions on this page:

http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html

There is no mention of the ly2dvi command.
But then, perhaps double-clicking on the file WAS supposed to generate the pdf, and something is wrong there still.
