Hi  Andreas,
 
Have you tried to install to C:\TexLive rather than C:\Program Files or C:\Program? It seemed like Administrator privilage was not given even after you change your status to Administrator.
 
Thanks,
Steve

Hi again!

As promised, here are the results of our testing this afternoon:

The tests took place on a Windows Vista SP1 localized german system.

install-tl.zip has been downloaded immediately before from
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/install-tl.zip

After unzipping, install-tl.bat has been started as administrator
(http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_131138.png)

The setting of the installation-paths remained unchanged, only
collections and languages wer justified
(http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_131246.png and
http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_131355.png)

Installation starts

Installation is broken due to an untarring error (sorry, no screenshot
for the first try).

No we tried a second run, resuming the broken installation. This seemed
to work
(http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_142451.png).

But! After restarting Vista, we've got what Steve had got before:
http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_142930.png
[Translation: folder C:\program could cause problems and schould be
renamed to C:\program1]

The TeX-Live files are splittet into C:\programme\texlive (as desired)
and into C:\program [with missing 'texlive']
(http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_143026.png
http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_143110.png
http://members.gaponline.de/afj/inst_tl/capture_06032009_143149.png)

So we can say: resuming from a broken TL-Inst failes!

the remaining problem is: we've got only untarring-broken installations
this afternoon :-(

It's a mirracle, why the resumed installation did not get another
untarring error

Maybe theres a conjunction 'installing into C:\programme' causes
untarring errors?

Or just a question of mirror and downloading?

Andreas
