</div>If you just copy the tree, you have no menu, it will be created by<br>
tlmgr. You have to use the command prompt. First you have to locate<br>
the directory where TL was installed. It will probably be in a<br>
directory named texlive and the name of the important directory is<br>
2011. You have to copy this tree (and optionally also texmf-local, but<br>
it will probably be empty after fresh install). After you copy it to<br>
your computer, change directory:<br>
<br>
cd ...\texlive\2011\bin\win32<br>
<br>
This directory contains among others tlmgr.exe. Now try:<br>
<br>
tlmgr --help<br>
<br>
This will display the manual. I have had no time to install TL 2011<br>
yet but I hope it is more or less the same as in TL 2010. Two actions<br>
are important for you, this is the help of 2010:<br>
<br>
path [--w32mode=user│admin] [add│remove]<br>
<br>
On Unix adds or removes symlinks for binaries, man pages, and<br>
info pages in the directories specified by the<br>
respective options (see above).<br>
<br>
On Windows, the registry part where the binary directory is<br>
added or removed is determined in the following<br>
way:<br>
<br>
If the user has admin rights, and the option "--w32mode" is not<br>
given, the setting w32_multi_user determines<br>
the location (i.e., if it is on then the system path, otherwise<br>
the user path is changed).<br>
<br>
If the user has admin rights, and the option "--w32mode" is<br>
given, this option determines the path to be<br>
adjusted.<br>
<br>
If the user does not have admin rights, and the option<br>
"--w32mode" is not given, and the setting<br>
w32_multi_user is off, the user path is changed, while if the<br>
setting w32_multi_user is on, a warning is<br>
issued that the caller does not have enough privileges.<br>
<br>
If the user does not have admin rights, and the option<br>
"--w32mode" is given, it must be user and the user path<br>
will be adjusted. If a user without admin rights uses the<br>
option "--w32mode admin" a warning is issued that<br>
the caller does not have enough provileges.<br>
<br>
postaction [--w32mode=user│admin] [--fileassocmode=1│2] [--all]<br>
[install│remove] [shortcut│fileassoc│script]<br>
[pkg]...<br>
<br>
Carry out the postaction "shortcut", "fileassoc", or "script"<br>
given as the second required argument in install<br>
or remove mode (which is the first required argument), for<br>
either the packages given on the command line, or<br>
for all if "--all" is given.<br>
<br>
The option "--w32mode" is "user" all actions will only carried<br>
out in the user accessible parts of the reg-<br>
istry/filesystem, while the "admin" mode selects the system<br>
wide parts of the registry for the file associa-<br>
tions. Note that if you do not have enough permissions using<br>
"--w32mode=admin" will not succeed.<br>
<br>
For the postaction "fileassoc" the mode can be set with<br>
"--fileassocmode". If it is set to 1, only new asso-<br>
cations are added, if it is set to 2, all associations are set<br>
to the TeX Live programs.<br>
<br>
After "tlmgr path ..." and "tlmgr postaction ..." it should work.<br>
