> Splendid (and much welcomed) news, Siep.  But one question, if I may ?  When you say "Just add a parameter '-gui tcl' ", presumably you are speaking of adding this parameter to the TeX Live 2018 installer, since (as far as I know) the 2019 version is as yet unannounced.  And can the parameter also be added to install-tl-advanced, which is my installer of choice ?

Tcl mode is available now.

The only thing that install-tl-advanced.bat does is invoking
install-tl-windows.bat with a '-gui perltk' parameter. The tcl gui
has a button 'advanced' which opens up (almost) all the
configuration options. I am not sure what would happen if you added
two -gui paramters.
