Hi.
I've just downloaded a windows installer package
"install-tl-20110314.zip" but the install-tl.bat script would fail
with an error: "could not run ...\config.guess, cannot proceed,
sorry".
The problem was with the line 227 of TLUtils.pm:
if ($^O =~ /^MSWin$/i) {
since $^O would return "MSWin32" (not just "MSWin") for my 32-bit
Windows7 OS. After substituting that line with
if ($^O =~ /^MSWin32$/i) {
I could proceed with the installation.
Was that a correct workaround or did I do anything wrong?
