Hello,
<br>
<br>
I have used Texlive 2013 for the last 3 month and it worked fine.
Yesterday (10.10.2013) after a Windows Update, nothing worked
anymore and my TexStudio Editor was not able to find any of the
binaries anymore. I was not able to find a solution and tried to
reinstall Texlive 2013. But after I started the
Install-tl-advanced.bat the following error message occurred! (error
message below)
<br>
<br>
I emailed <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="mailto:lasse.collin@tukaani.org">laze.collin@tukaani.org</a>
as is is suggested by the error and he said, that I have to contact
the Texlive developers. (his mail also below)<br>
<br>
I found the hint, that there is "no nl in perl" under TLUtils.pm
line 2375 and installed activeperl 5.16.3 build 1603 (64Bit) and
added package NL and TK but still doesn't work.
<br>
<br>
My system is: Windows 7 sp1 64Bit with intel core i7-3740QM @2,7GHz
16GB RAM
<br>
<br>
Can you please help me find a way to use Texlive 2013 again! I am
just about to finish my bachelor thesis and really depending on
finding a solution for this problem! thank you very much.
<br>
<br>
regards from Hannover, Germany<br>

<pre wrap="">The problem is in TeXLive which uses xzdec from XZ Utils. I'm the
maintainer of XZ Utils which is why my email is in xzdec --help output.
I don't work on TeXLive and I don't know what the bug in TeXLive is.
I have gotten similar emails a few times before so you aren't alone with
your problem. The error message is confusing so it's understandable
that a few people have emailed me about it. Anyway, please contact the
TeXLive developers to get help with the problem.
