I am trying to install texlive on my Windows 7 32 bit PC. Here is what I've done:

  • Downloaded and extracted install-tl.zip.

  • Added path to Perl and Wget to my environment variable PATH.

  • since I am behind a proxy server, I command set http_proxy=http://username:password@123.45.67.89:9090 set https_proxy=https://username:password@123.45.67.89:9090

  • cd to \install-tl-20161124

  • install-tl-advanced.bat -gui=perltk

It gives the following "Inappropriate I/O control operation" error, and quits installation: C:\Users\<user>\Desktop\install-tl-20161124\install-tl: open tlpdb(http://ctan.imsc. res.in/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb) failed: Inappropriate I/O control operation at C:/Us ers/AQ/Desktop/install-tl-20161124/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 359.

The post here suggests to try a different mirror. I have tried different mirrors by using --repository option for the install-tl-advanced.bat command. But the result is same.

A similar issue has also been reported on the texlive mailing list here a couple of months back. But I could not find any solution there.

Can anyone help?

Ok, apparently it should, but it does not work when given the option -gui=____ along with the install-tl-advanced.bat. It is working fine without giving the -gui option.
