Installed lilypond-2.7.27-4.mingw.exe and also the -3 version afterwards on a new system with winxp pro sp2. The install went along a bit then failed with a message about guile.exe
I have installed the cygwin versions in the past but never liked the cygwin process for selecting components (mainly because I have dial up) I have used mingw and like it so was pleased that it is being used. Just thought I would mention this install problem in case anyone knows about it and how to proceed or can comment on what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks
I mainly do everything on linux but like to keep the windows updated
