Probably not.

The Start menu item points to LilyPond.exe instead of LilyPad.exe.  So 
does the shortcut which the install puts on the desktop.  I presume 
these should point to LilyPad.exe. 

Also the registry has correct (AFAICT) entries under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT 
for .ly and LilyPond.  These do point to LilyPad so double-click works 
correctly.  Right-clicking shows Generate PDF as the default action.  
Right now I only get a .ps but I may have a problem with the Ghostscript 
on that machine which I am running on.

A very small problem is that "Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types" 
doesn't show an entry for LilyPond which could imply that one of the 
registry keys is not quite complete.

Ok.  Out of curiosity did something break?  Should the 2.6 doc packages 
be as the same to produce as always?

Thanks,
