Add a \texttt{.bat} extension to the invocations if the same directory
also contains \texttt{install-tl-windows.exe}. This will not
normally be the case, unless you've mirrored the \dirname{tlnet} directory

+Non-ASCII characters in the path for the \TL\ installation must be
+avoided. This may be a problem particularly under Windows 11, where
+users are forced to use a Microsoft network account. See
+\url{https://tug.org/texlive/windows.html\#nonascii} for some
+workarounds.
