This is strange, the code is basically (with some if (win32())...
removed):
    my $ret = $F_OK;
    .....
	$ret |= TeXLive::TLUtils::w32_add_to_path(
		$localtlpdb->root . "/bin/win32",
		$winadminmode);
1510	$ret |= TeXLive::TLWinGoo::broadcast_env();

Where line 1510 is the line indicated. $ret should not be uninitialized,
and broadcast_env should also return something reasonable.

Can you chnage line 1510 to
	my $broad_result = TeXLive::TLWinGoo::broadcast_env();
	print("ret = >>$ret<<, broadcast result = >>$broad_result<<\n");
	$ret |= $broad_result;
and let me know what it says?

Maybe it is a problem in the "broadcast_env()" call.

Thanks

Norbert
