Hi, I've just tried TexLive 20070128 live dvd build. and the gui
installation app can work under my WinXP SP2. version info is:

Y:\>type 00LIVE.TL

This is the TeX Live `live' distribution.  You can run programs directly
from it, or install it to disk, and all packages are present.  It is too
large to fit on a standard CD.

Release date: 20070128.01

and it even can do some simple job:

D:\tex\cjk-4.7.0\examples>latex sample2e
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.1 (Web2C 7.5.6)
 %&-line parsing enabled.

but it looks like kpathsea have some bugs under win32:
D:\tex\cjk-4.7.0\examples>kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFSYSVAR


D:\tex\cjk-4.7.0\examples>kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMF
{!!C:\TeXLive2007\texmf-var,Y:/../texmf-local,!!Y:/texmf,!!Y:/../texmf-local,!!Y:/texmf-dist}

and I can't use CJK too:

D:\tex\cjk-4.7.0\examples>latex CJKutf8

Karl, hope this msg can help you to improve TL on Win32!

BTW: I also tried this under my slackware 11.0 box, and it just work
out of the box. It's a great job!
