The GUI interface uses locale and depends on system fonts.  There is
no way to check whether all this is set up properly on a particular
system.  I expected such problems.

As a last resort you could try "install-tl --no-gui".  The text-based
user interface avoids system dependencies and dependes solely on pure
ASCII.

Please let me know if "install-tl --no-gui" doesn't work everywhere.
It's designed to work everywhere.  Please complain if it doesn't.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
