Problem with TexLive 4

[Malysiak]

Hi,

I am trying to run latex from the TexLive4 CD under Windows 95. I have
followed the directions in Section 4.1 of the TexLive4 documentation and
then tried

latex <filename>

from a dos prompt. Latex starts but stops with the message

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2c 7.3)
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

This file is on the CD but ...

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Kevin.
