This is a crosspost to the TL-mailing-list because it may be that this
issue is relatedt to the TL-version of TW

Seems that I have to clarify my situation:

I installed TL2010 on my Linux-server, installing binaries for Linux and
Win32

I mapped texlive via Samba to my Vista-PC and added /bin/win32 to the
Windows-Path

everything works fine

As for this way, where is no registry-entry for TW on my Vista-PC

Later I installed TW 0.4 to a localdrive of my Vista-PC for testing
purposes.

Now I've got a registry-enty for this TW

So I'm still doesn't know the location of the settings of my TL-TW
