Thank you Siep. But your advice conflicts with the advice from <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-mirror.html">https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-mirror.html</a>,
which reads (in part) <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">However, if you are on Windows, to run <tt>install-tl-windows</tt>
directly you must ensure that all the *.bat, *.dll, and *.manifest
files
are executable. Either the mirroring software or the original
mirror
often clears executable permissions. Using <tt>install-tl.zip</tt>
may
be simpler.

<br>
which is why I unpacked the ZIP file and used its contents. I will
now try your advice, but should I type simply :<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">install-tl-windows</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
or <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">install-tl-windows -select-repository</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
in order to be able to verify that I am about to install from my
local (rsynch'd) mirror ? I ask because, too many times in the
past, I have thought that I was installing from my local mirror but
realised after several hours that I was, in fact, installing from
the network ...<br>
