Hi Don,

You just have to double-click the .exe file's icon and go through the 
process.  Bear in mind that Lilypond does not operate the way many new 
users expect it to.  It is a typesetting engine, not a program with a 
graphical interface.  It processes plain text source code and produces 
graphical output.  If you have already run the installer, then it is 
probably installed correctly.  Check the Learning Manual here to see how 
best to get started:

Good luck!
