-I have made my first attempt at distributing lilypond as a self
-extracting executable for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95. The
-executable will extract the distribution in the directory specified by
-the user and create em(lilypond-@TOPLEVEL_VERSION@\lily.bat). This
-batch file initializes the LilyPond environment and fires up a Command
-Prompt. From this Command Prompt you may run:
+The FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS file system problems have been corrected.
+I have tested various installations that are known to be operational.

+The installer was created with

+application that has capabilities close to the high dollar installers
+bf(InstallShield), bf(Install Vise), and bf(WiseInstaller).
+bf(CreateInstall) does cost $38 to register which is probably going to
+be frowned upon, but I was unable to find a freeware install builder
+that was suitable. The self extracting distribution currently:
