[tex-live] install-tl vs win7 64-bit

[Lars Madsen]

Just a fast observation since I was at my office for a meeting (I'm officially back tommorow)

I grabbed  the latest install-tl.zip

Added '-d' inside install-tl.bat

In the debugger I tried just typing 'c' to make it continue

then it does not crash

Who compiles the perl version shipped with the installer? Could someone recompile it for testing such that the -D 
option is available?

More observations later

Perl has a built-in debugger: just add -d to the Perl command-line:

perl "%~dpn0" %*

or

perl -d "%~dpn0install-tl" %*

if the batchfile got a new name.

In the debugger, type the letter h for help. Or go to
http://perldoc.perl.org/perldebug.html

Warning: I never got far debugging GUI programs this way.
