When you double-click on the file, you're not extracting the ZIP archive. You're
just previewing its contents. This archive contains a single folder called
"lilypond-2.23.80". (In my view, the preview, with the potential confusion it
creates, is a Windows misfeature. With my GNOME file manager, when I double-
click on an archive, it just gets extracted.)

When you extract any archive, the system will usually create a folder with all
its contents, named like the archive but without the ".zip" extension. In this
case, that means you get a "lilypond-2.23.80" folder inside a "lilypond-2.23.80-
mingw-x86_64" folder.

Some systems / file managers may be smart and skip the outer directory if the
archive contains only one file or directory, but that was not the case on the
Windows system I used when writing this installation procedure, as you can see
from the screenshots.

Best,
Jean
