[tex-live] (Installation Problem)

[Steve MC Han]

Hi Norbert,
 
I've tried to change any other directory names C:\Program, C:\ProgramFiles, etc, but nothing worked so far.
 
Was anyone successful to install TexLive to vista PC before, I wonder?
 
 
This might be the cause of the problem I have encountered all along.
 
Thanks,
Steve

 
All are changed to those automatically, but now all three are red (not writable)

Did you change TEXDIR to
	c:/texlive/2008
???? If yes, the other should have been changed, too!!! Otherwise change
them by hand to
	c:/texlive/texmf-local
	c:/texlive/2008/texmf-var
	c:/texlive/2008/texmf-config

Best wishes

Norbert

Can you PLEASE READ my other message!!!!

At the prompt when it asks you about the aborted installation,
    CHOOSE "NO" = n
then you will get a GUI window, then you will be able to choose
c:/texlive/2008 as installation folder.

Thanks for reading.

Norbert
