Using Windows 2000 SP5:

I installed last night's release candidate -- full install including 
xemtex support -- to F:\TexLive.  I get the following results from the 
Windows command line.  Are these real bugs or have I missed something?

F:\Temp\fptexsave>tex --version
TeX (Web2c 7.5.2) 3.141592
kpathsea version 3.5.2
Copyright (C) 1997-2003 D.E. Knuth.
[omitted...]

F:\Temp\fptexsave>latex --version
irun: CreateProcess 2

F:\Temp\fptexsave>latex t.tex
irun: CreateProcess c1

F:\Temp\fptexsave>texexec t
irun: no perl.exe script
of name c:\Progra~1\TeXLive\texmf\context\perltk\texexec.pl can be found.
Aborting.
irun: CreateProcess 3

F:\Temp\fptexsave>pdflatex tlatex
File not found: f:\TeXLive\bin\win32\.\pdfetex.exe
pdflatex: can't find the target .\pdfetex.exe.

Note that in the last two cases, at least, the paths are messed up: 
drive c: should be f: and the "\.\" doesn't belong there.

My path is:
F:\Temp\fptexsave>PATH
PATH=f:\TeXLive\bin\win32;i:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\Common\Tools;
i:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Msdev98\BIN;i:\Program

I'd include the error section of the setup log but it's very long...

good luck,
Peter
