As far as we can assess, the problem occurs always if the first try
breaks and you choose 'continuing last installation'.

So the decided to use c:\texlive as installation folder an this works
properly (unfortunately this installation wents through without break so
we could not test 'continuing' - but we believe that for this folder the
problems don't exist).

After this, we strongly recommend to change the standard-installtion
from C:\program files\ to C:\texlive
