Yes, I can reproduce this bug on an up to date Windows 7 64-bit using
lilypond 2.17.12.

The lilypond exe is launched, no GUI appears, and the program terminates
silently less than a second later.

After lilypond 2.17.12 has terminated in this way echo %errorlevel%
outputs 0 (i.e. the exit code was 0)

I tried 2.17.7 which I happened to have installed. It outputs the usage
message then terminates and it sets %errorlevel% to 2.

I'll create a tracker.

Cheers,
Colin.
