I have solved the problem. Since the computer is new it has to be a late version of Win-10 and it almost immediately upgraded. The first thing I do when I get a computer is install a 3rd party command processor, TakeCommand. I tried running the tl-install
from there. When I tried running from windows (file explorer), the first thing it did was ask if I wanted to allow it to change things. This step was somehow bypassed when I ran it from the command line. Anyway, it finally installed and I tested a sample
and it runs fine. What would have happened from the DOS <a href="http://command.com" target="_blank">command.com</a> I do not know and am not willing to test it.</div>

I have not yet removed texlive 2017 and if I do need to do so (very unlikely) I can just move the link in my PATH variable lower down than the link to the 2017 version. If you need a front end on command .com have a look at Conemu.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>John C Frain<br></div>3 Aranleigh Park<br><div><div>Rathfarnham<br>Dublin 14<br>Ireland<br><a href="http://www.tcd.ie/Economics/staff/frainj/home.html" target="_blank">www.tcd.ie/Economics/staff/frainj/home.html</a><br>mailto:<a href="mailto:frainj@tcd.ie" target="_blank">frainj@tcd.ie</a><br>mailto:<a href="mailto:frainj@gmail.com" target="_blank">frainj@gmail.com</a></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
