Hi Richard,
I have attached a simple file.
I don’t know what you mean by saying put lilypond in the preferences but
I tried just the word lilypond (should it have been lilypond-windows.exe?)
I tried both and got a report that lilypond could not be found and that
Typeset was not possible.
There are two possible routes to lilypond on my PC
The separately downloaded Lilypond
C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe
And
C:\Users\joean\Desktop\Den21Nov\denemo\bin\lilypond-windows.exe
I have several versions of Denemo and can change Den21Nov to one of the
others, eg Den17Nov
If I use a downloaded denemo after Nov 17 – Nov 17, 20 or 21, I cannot
get the attached file to Typeset with either route
If I use October 20th's (the previous version I downloaded with none
between) I can use _either_ string to Typeset the file, or just
lilypond-windows.exe
Summat has happened??🙁

I've downloaded and tested last night's build on a Windows 10 laptop,
it is typesetting with the built-in LilyPond ok.
If a File->New score does not typeset first test is to change the prefs
back to just "lilypond" and see if the built-in LilyPond works. If so
use File->New the File->Export->Export as LilyPond and then try to
typeset the resultant file with your
C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe
if that works then the finger of suspicion would point to a (possibly
invisible) typo in the prefs field (look in .denemo-2.5.6/denemorc for
the string, copy and paste it into the command.com prompt ...) or some
bug in Denemo handling windows paths (surely would have surfaced
sometime in the past 20 years...).

Hi Richard,
I just tried to run the 17 November download on an existing,
previously successful, file and it wouldn't typeset, directing me
to
the Lilypond Window.
Message:
Typesetting ...Error launching lilypond! Message is Failed to
execute
helper program (No such file or directory)
I get the same with a simple scale in the 20 Nov Download, but not
with previous Oct 20th.
Best wishes
Joe
