Re: website draft 4, help wanted

[chip]

I noticed on the new site that the section Windows/Packages/Install and 
Uninstall needs to be written, so I did that. I uninstalled my Lily and 
downloaded and installed the latest version. The text file is attached.
Hope this helps,
Chip

- Installing Lilypond -

- Download the latest package of Lilypond at 
http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/mingw/lilypond-2.12.2-1.mingw.exe

- Locate the downloaded file and double-click on it to start the installer. You 
will be presented a window titled "Open File - Security Warning", click on Run 
to continue.

- You will be presented the License Agreement, read if desired, and click on 
the Next button.

- Preferably leave the destination folder to the default, else browse to choose 
a different location, and click on the Next button.

- Next is the Installation Options window, leave the three options checked, as 
you will want to have all of these installed. Click on the Next button.

- Installation now commences, wait a minute or less for installation to 
complete. There is a Show Details button that when clicked on will show all the 
files installed and where, nothing you necessarily need to look at. Click on 
the Finish button. Lilypond is now installed.

- Optional -

Install a good editor with Lilypond support built in - JEdit is a fine 
application, is free (open source) and has very good Lilypond integration.


- Uninstalling Lilypond -

There are two uninstallation routes -

1. Choose Uninstall from the Lilypond menu from the start menu
2. Open your Install/Uninstall Applications on the Control Panel, scroll down 
to Lilypond and click on the Uninstall buttom.
