Well, having read-only autoexec.bat is quite unusual; reading the code
aroung environment variables update, I can't see any reason why it might
crash. It should just fail to do the update and report so in the log
file. Where precisely did it crash ?

Sebastian>  I'll let Fabrice comment

Well, nothing really harmfull :

!!!Fail to open D:\ while copying to c:\proj66\TeX\texmf-var\tex4ht\base\tex4ht.env (Error 2)
!!!Fail to open D:\setupw32\config.dvipdfm while copying to c:\proj66\TeX\texmf-var\dvipdfm\config\config (Error 2)

This is really strange, I have been reported several times that some
text files in the setupw32/ directory are not edited/copied
correctly. I have not been able to experiment it myself. Anyway, you
can quite easily fix this by copying the configuration files and
editing them by hand, only a few paths to set.

Running c:\proj66\TeX\bin\win32\fmtutil --missing --dolinks
c:/proj66/TeX/texmf-var/web2c/fmtutil.cnf: ini file bamstex.ini not found
c:/proj66/TeX/texmf-var/web2c/fmtutil.cnf: syntax error: bamstex

A few formats fail to be created. I hope the other ones where created
ok.

Otherwise the setup went right, and most things should run ok.
