LilyPond 2.6.4-5 installation "breaks " Windows

Greetings,

I've been running LilyPond on Windows XP Pro SP2 with no problems.

I recently installed the LilyPond 2.6.4-5 upgrade (I had been running 2.6.4-1
previously). All went well. However, after rebooting my computer, the Windows
Security Centre appeared, warning me that I had no anti-virus utility installed.
Yet my anti-virus scanner was installed, and functioning correctly.

Then, upon opening certain programs, I would get the error message, "The
application cannot run because framedyn.dll cannot be found." Yet again,
framedyn.dll was installed on the system, and where it should be (in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\framedyn.dll).

Some research brought me to the following registry key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path.

Here, I found that LilyPond install had inserted the paths to LilyPond,
apparently so that Windows would be able to run Python apps such as midi2ly.
Somehow, this seems to be interfering with Windows' ability to see certain
system files.

I tried resolving this by editing the LilyPond references in the various path
keys, but to no avail. In the meantime, I've system restored and reverted to
LilyPond 2.6.4-1.

Is there a way to get LilyPond 2.6.4-5 up and running?

Thanks.
