<div dir="ltr">Do you have "Home" ediotion, or "Professional"? In the Home edition permissions cannot be set so everything is usable while in the Professional edition C:\ is not writable for normal users. I rarely install TeX Live in Windows but when doing it I follow the same procedure as on Linux. I create C:\texlive and make it writable for the user who will install and maintain TL. Then I unpack the installer into this directory, run it and install to C:\texlive\YYYY where YYYY is the year of the distro. I often keep the installer because I am lazy to delete it and my disks are large enough.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Zdeněk Wagner<br><a href="http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml" target="_blank">http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml</a><br><a href="http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz" target="_blank">http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz</a></div></div>

It is moot to discuss now whether there is need to keep the installer, as the installtion has not succeeded.<br>
