Re: Windows 7

[Phil Holmes]

I think we could say, therefore, that it runs on Windows in the same way as
it does on Vista and XP, which I run.  I'd guess the long uninstall time is
more of an issue for the development team, who need to keep up to date with
the latest version, than it is for the general user.  I have experience of
other programs that take as long.

Phil,

?

Can you define what 'fine' means? I recently uninstalled 2.13.21 and it took 
the same 'age' it normally does. I.e. it seems to delete every single 
installed file one at a time instead of just removing the top level dirs 
(you can see this if you watch the uninstaller).

I only use Windows 7 and have done since 2.12.latest and all through up to 
2.13.10 builds and this has always been a problem (5-10 minute uninstall). I 
have recently installed 2.13.23 but have not yet uninstalled it (I am at 
home and I use Mac here).

I hadn't seen anyone had updated this, so assumed it was still an issue.

LilyPond runs fine on Windows 7.  Could someone confirm, and we can raise a
bug report to add windows 7 to the supported platforms list?  (Can't find a
report that this has been done already).
