<DIV>I did 'system restore' and but it still shows ABORTED INSTALLATION FOUND. That means somehow texlive was not removed.</DIV>

You need a zip package. Unpack it somewhere and run install-tl.bat.
But before that, try to remove the previous installation if possible.
You will need to rename the TL root directory back to its original
name and run uninstaller. Or better yet, try to find uninst.bat and
uninst2.bat files in ...\tlpkg\installer subdirectory of your TL
installation. Send them to me and I will tell you how to remove
previous TL.
Cheers,
Tomek
