[tex-live] TeX installation problem

[Andreas Hirsch]

quoting Guillaume Jacques, [05.03.2010 04:14 +0100]:
> I have successfully installed TeX live on many computers before, but

Did you - in special - start the command prompt to run as administrator?

> Installation failed
> Rerunning the installer will try to restart the installation.

'Jede Gesellschaft hat ihre Sklaven,
wir haben unsere in die Dritte Welt ausgeleagert.
Alle, die sich jetzt über den Westerwelle aufregen,
haben mindestens ein Kleidungsstück im Schrank,
das von einem chinesischen Kind genäht wurde.'
	Josef Hader in 'Neues aus der Anstalt'
