When I tried to install Texlive2013 by running install-tl.bat, the message 'Perl.exe has stopped working' showed up. It failed too even I tried install-tl-advanced.bat while running it as an administrator. I also tried various ways including running it from command prompt with command like: -no gui something like that, which I found on the web but still it failed misearbly. Anyone has any idea? I run the installer from the iso I downloaded from CTAN server. I thought about installing it directly online but I scared it will fail too. I have my computer installed with strawberry Perl.

Did you disable your virus checker? (Note: the TL installer doesn't use 'locally installed' Perl, so Strawberry is irrelevant.)– Joseph Wright ♦Jan 10, 2014 at 8:27

I had the same problem every time I ran the install-tl and selected 'simple install (big)'. Running install-tl and selecting 'custom install' seems to have solved the problem for me. Here's window's crash info if it helps anyone.

What did you select in custom install routine, what have been the settings?– SperavirMar 15, 2014 at 2:46

FYI, I have ran into this a _few_times on a PC. What I recall is that there are two different modes to install TeXLive, and when one failed I attempted to reinstall with the other mode and then it worked. I did not select any custom settings. Mar 15, 2014 at 4:14
I had this issue too. Latex states right before the error message in the window on which package it was working. For me it was Cjkutil (chinese/japanese/korean), which I could untick at the install screen, so I could then install it without any issues. Maybe that helps.
I ran into the same problem. I disabled my proxy and it worked for me (Windows 10).

There you go.
