[EXT] TL 2024 cannot be installed on some Windows computers (again!)

[Denis Bitouzé]

I checked the permissions:

PS C:\texlive> Get-Acl | Format-Table -Wrap


    Répertoire : C:\


Path    Owner                  Access
----    -----                  ------

                               BUILTIN\Utilisateurs Allow  ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
