Re: LilyPond-2.22.2 does not work on Windows XP

[Andrew Bernard]

Hello Dag,

As mentioned in my post Windows XP is way, way past any support from 
Microsoft (EOL 2009!). A couple of others have queried why it is 
necessary for you to be running this system also. Before people go to 
extraordinary lengths to source XP machines to try to help, would you 
ever so kindly explain the situation for us? If you simply must have XP, 
you could run it in a VM on a more recent Windows version. Then your 
Lilypond problems go away. Do let us know.
