This is windows? How did you try to install? For windows, there are<br>
a couple of batchfile wrappers:<br>
<br>
- install-tl.bat or install-tl-windows.bat, depending on the release<br>
This one installs everything, with a minimum of questions<br>
<br>
- install-tl-advanced.bat which lets you pick and choose<br>
<br>
The batchfile takes care of invoking a private copy of perl, which<br>
is more or less invisible to the rest of the system.<br>
<br>
Other perl scripts are also invoked via wrappers which know where to<br>
find the hidden perl.<br>
