pretest installation failure

[Torsten Schuetze]

Hi,


under Windows 10 I just downloaded TL pretest 2021 with

rsync -a -v -L --delete --exclude="mactex*" 
rsync://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/local/tlpretest .

unzipped install-tl.zip into f:\mirror-texlive-pretest and installed with

cd install-tl-20210321

install-tl-windows.bat -repository ../tlpretest


I selected complete install into c:/TeX, everything went fine except 
that I get the warning / failure notice

pre-generating all format files, be patient...

running fmtutil-sys 
--no-error-if-no-engine=luajithbtex,luajittex,mfluajit --no-strict --all ...
done

F:/mirror-texlive-pretest/install-tl-20210321/install-tl: errors in 
installation reported above

Probably I myself will never need ptex2pdf, but the error message could 
by annoying to others.


Ciao and thanks for the good work
