It appears that the installer no longer registers a file association between the .ly extension and the lilypond exe. All I had to do is add the extension to windows using windows explorer. Below is the contents of my BAT script, I just have always simply named the .ly files diectly in scripts, I dont use "start" or "lilypond". The script below builds this list of songs then invokes ghostwriter (via another command script in the txt file) to concatenate all the PDF's into a song book, then it deletes all the work files at the end. It works fine now, but the lily installer script should be changed to make the proper file association for .ly files so that simply naming any .ly file will invole lily.
