OK, Phil. Once again:
1. you have downloaded from CTAN the whole structure _as it is_, right?
archive/
install-tl/
tlpkg/
install-tl.zip
install-tl-unx.tar.gz
2. cd install-tl
3. install-tl.bat
4. it works, but _only_ for installing from the net, eg.:
Platform: win32 => ' Windows '
Distribution: net (downloading)
Using URL: http://mirror.icis.pcz.pl/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008
Directory for temporary files: ' c:/TEMP '
Installer directory: 'c:/tl08/install-tl'
Loading http://mirror.icis.pcz.pl/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
Installer revision: 10347
Database revision: 10341
So archive/ and tlpkg/ on your disk aren't sourced. That's all.
