Re: trouble installing lily pond

[Mats Bengtsson]

Check again what file you actually clicked on when you dragged it
to the LilyPond icon. It looks as if you have tried to drag the 
installation program onto icon, not your music file.
When you read the Tutorial, you will also learn that the file can be 
processed by just double-clicking on it instead of
dragging it onto the LilyPond icon.
