Much better is to change directory to the folder where the file is placed:
cd Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton
and run
convert-ly -e template.ly
This has always worked for me on Windows, even when I have had spaces in
the directory path.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to get convert-ly to work.
It's mostly my computer ignorance. My files don't seem to be in
simple places and I never get the parameters correct.
so I have the file in C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton
it's called
my template.ly <http://template.ly>
it's version 2.10.25
I just tried to follow the instructions from the docs here's what
I think it says to do in run under xp
convert-ly --from C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\mytemplate.ly
<http://mytemplate.ly>\version 2.10.25 --to C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\my template.ly
<http://template.ly> version 2.12.2
That didn't work so what am I not understanding?
As you seem to have spaces in directory and/or filenames the arguments
need to be quoted. Maybe that is your issue?
e.g. convert-ly -e "C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\mytemplate.ly <http://mytemplate.ly/>"
Sorry for total ignorance.

The standard solution to all such compatibility problems is to
run the file through convert-ly, to automatically update the
syntax.
(Just remember to specify \version "2.10.0" or something like
that in the file header, so that convert-ly knows what to do.)
