If I try to update all installed packages, I get a Warning window: “Running update failed. Please cosult log window for details”. If I click OK, the I get a pop-up error that perl.exe has stopped working, and the only option is to click the button in that pop-up to close the tlmgrgui program. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">(1) Where is that log window? Is it tjust he pane at the bottom of the tlmgrgui window? <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The pane at the bottom of the tlmgrgui window says to run “tlmgr update —self” (or to download the latest version). But if I run that command, the update seems to run to completion without any error message. But then if I start the GUI again and try to update all installed, I’m back where I started with the “perl.exe has stopped working” , but if I do that, I get the same “pearl.exe” .</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here’s c:\texlive\2017\temp\update-self.log:</div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">C:\Users\myaccunt>if [:doit] == [:doit] goto :doit </div><div class="">C:\Users\me\myaccount>set prompt=TL$G </div><div class="">TL>title TeX Live Manager 2017 Update </div><div class="">TL>set PERL5LIB=C:/texlive/2017/tlpkg/tlperl/lib </div><div class="">TL>echo DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW! 1>con </div><div class="">TL>echo TeX Live infrastructure update in progress ... 1>con </div><div class="">TL>echo Detailed command logging to "C:\texlive\2017\temp\update-self.log" 1>con </div><div class="">TL>chdir /d "C:\texlive\2017\temp\.." </div><div class="">TL>if not errorlevel 1 goto :update </div><div class="">TL>for %I in (tlperl.win32.tar) do (</div><div class="">temp\tar.exe -xmf temp\%I </div><div class=""> if errorlevel 1 goto :rollback </div><div class="">) </div><div class="">TL>(</div><div class="">temp\tar.exe -xmf temp\tlperl.win32.tar </div><div class=""> if errorlevel 1 goto :rollback </div><div class="">) </div><div class="">TL>tlpkg\tlperl\bin\perl.exe .\texmf-dist\scripts\texlive\tlmgr.pl _include_tlpobj tlpkg\tlpobj\tlperl.win32.tlpobj </div><div class="">TL>if errorlevel 1 goto :rollback </div><div class="">TL>echo [Tue 03/13/2018 17:36:43.86] self update: tlperl.win32 (43927 -> 45751) 1>>"C:/texlive/2017/texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr.log" </div><div class="">TL>echo self update: tlperl.win32 (43927 -> 45751) 1>con </div><div class="">TL>del "C:\texlive\2017\temp\*.tar" "C:\texlive\2017\temp\tar.exe" </div><div class="">TL>echo Infrastructure update finished successfully. 1>con </div><div class="">TL>echo You may now close this window. 1>con </div><div class="">TL>rem 1>con </div><div class="">TL>exit /b 0 </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">(In case it makes any difference, Windows 10 is running as a guest, i.e., virtual machine, under Parallels Desktop 13 Pro for Mac under macOS 10.13.3.
