I have only upgraded a couple of times, and it was in response to this
thread, just to test it out. It's possible that I upgraded one more time
before that. I always use the Add/Remove program tool built into Windows,
accessed by the Control Panel. On Linux I always run the uninstall script
that comes with Lilypond, but I don't know how to do this on Windows. Like
I said, I don't use Windows regularly (...poking in the Windows partition
now...) Aha! I just noticed the uninstall.exe file in the Lilypond
directory! Should I try running that and then doing a fresh reinstall of
Lilypond? Does the Windows Add/Remove GUI use this uninstall.exe file or
does it use something else? I can try this after lunch if you think it's a
good idea.
The standar way of uninstalling lilypond on windows is to launch the
Uninstall program found into the lilypond entry of the Start button->
programs menu.
I think the Windows builtin Control Panel -> uninstall feature should
use this program.
Alright, I uninstalled by going through the program menu and choosing
the uninstall script. The process looked exactly the same as when I did
it from the Control Panel. (Either way it's incredibly slow. Why is it
so much slower on Windows than on Linux?)
After uninstalling I found, though, that the Lilypond directory was
still there in the Program Files directory, and from that I could tell
the date on which I first installed LP on this laptop, 12 June 2008. I
deleted the LP directory from Program Files, hoping that a *really*
fresh install would fix the problem of the fontconfig cache rebuilding
all the time. It didn't help. I reinstalled Lilypond (2.11.63-1) and
ran my test file again, twice, and the cache was rebuilt on the second
run just like the first. Anything else I should try or information I
could provide to help track down the problem?
