Just follow the instructions in the manual on how to
run latex, dvips and ps2pdf (actually, to be able to run
ps2pdf, you also need to add
C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\ghostscript\8.50\lib\
to the path).

Mats,
You have definately helped me. I've now gotten lilypond-book to work
- almost. The good news is that it's now running and outputting
files. The bad news is that it's not outputting a .dvi file. It
seems like it's outputting everything else, though. It even gives me
a .psfonts file. As far as I know, I've done everything just as you
directed. Is there something more I'm missing?

Unfortunately, there are some problems with lilypond-book, convert-ly,
midi2ly and some other utilities on Windows, since they are
implemented
using a scripting language called Python and the version of Python
which
is included in the LilyPond package is broken.
A workaround is described in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-04/msg00363.html
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-04/msg00363.html>
However, with lilypond-book there are a couple of additional
problem in
Windows:
- The python version included with LilyPond will still interfere,
so you
have to
run lilypond-book using the following command
python "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py" -o out
--psfonts myfile.lytex
- You have to run it twice. The first time you run it, it will end
with
an error
message but if you just run the same command another time, it will
work fine.
