I think it has been a while since the installers/uninstallers have had issues with spaces. But then again we don't know how old this TeXLive is<br>

<div><tt>Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
the best fix would be to rename your account name.<br>
<br>
This may sound like a fix in the wrong place to you, but there's good reason: The texlive installer will not be the only program choking on the space in your account name.<br>
<br>
Spaces have special meaning in commands: They separate command arguments. Thus any path containing your account name (which is any path to any of your files) will be read as at least three different arguments instead of one argument combined. Any work-around
making that space-containing path work will only be a local work-around. There will always be places where such work-arounds have been forgotten.<br>
<br>
In the long run, you save yourself from a lot of trouble if you change your login name to something without spaces (perhaps use underscores instead or just omit the space) and if you refrain from using spaces in file or directory names.<br>
<br>
HTH,<br>
