fix for Windows Exited with return code -1073741819 ?

[damianlegassick]

Hi all

I know that this has come up a few times and I'm aware that it's a Windows 32 bit memory issue

but does anyone actually have a fix? I have to work on a windows machine atm. 

thanks

This might not rise to the level of a "fix." But with the recent
Windows 10 versions there's an option to use Windows Subsystem for
Linux for running the 64-bit Linux version of LilyPond.

that could well be enough of a fix for now - I’ll try it thanks

What Windows are you running? Most Windows 10 systems are 64 bit,
althought I recall 32 bit was supported, not sure now. I am not sure
Windows 10 32 bit would run the 64 bit Linux subsystems. Tell us your
OS details.

The issue is not that Windows is 32-bit, but that the Windows version of Lilypond is created with a 32-bit architecture (we don't have a mingw-64 build).
