<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>

can you tell me which lines of install-tl-windows.bat I
