The documentation for the options of convert-ly is slightly unclear. Try to remove the '=' in the -f option: convert-ly -e -f 1.6.8 `find . -name '*.ly' -print`

Thanks for your help. I succeeded in installing ghostscript and was able to build a sample LilyPond file.
Unfortunately, now I am experiencing another problem. I wish to update some old LilyPond files that I prepared with version 1.6.8. (They cannot even be built as they stand because they violate the syntax of the latest version.) I tried running
$ convert-ly -e -f=1.6.8 `find . -name '*.ly' -print`
and got the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 2199, in ? from_version = str_to_tuple (a) File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 91, in str_to_tuple return tuple (map (string.atoi, string.split (s,'.'))) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 220, in atoi return _int(s, base) ValueError: invalid literal for int(): =1
The same thing happened when I tried running convert-ly with a single file. I was, however, able to run it with no files (using such options s -s and -h), so it does at least do something.
Any suggestions? Does this look like a problem with convert-ly or a defect in my .ly files? or perhaps another problem with installation?
Again, this is with Lilypond 2.2.5 for Windows.

Just rerun setup.exe once more and make sure that the package ghostscript is selected (it should be by default if you install LilyPond, but sometimes it seems to fail).

For your reference, I have attached a copy of the log file.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
