Splendid (and much welcomed) news, Siep.  But one question, if I may ?  When you say "Just add a parameter '-gui tcl' ", presumably you are speaking of adding this parameter to the TeX Live 2018 installer, since (as far as I know) the 2019 version is as yet unannounced.  And can the parameter also be added to install-tl-advanced, which is my installer of choice ?

Incidentally, in order to remind myself where I had installed TeX Live 2018, I typed "kpsewhich xetex.exe"; kpsewhich returned nothing, not even with the addition of "-must-exist".  I finally had to ask it to search for "x.tex", since I had no idea which files it might (or might not) be able to find.
