Cheers! I finally successfully installed the windows binaries of TL'2009, it
now works well with my cygwin1.7.  And, I even find that my xelatex
generated Chinese articles looks more beautiful (clear) than before :)
This story is actually funny.  I in the past installed a TL2009 on my new
installed computer, but it doesn't work for some reason, then I posted a
message on the net, some people suggested me not use win32 TeXLive with
cygwin, he said I should use cygwin version of TeXLive, and the only
possible of the solution is cygwin1.7 + TL'2009.  So, I hardly uninstalled
my cygwin 1.5 and TL'2008.  However, finally, I get two thing after all of
your kind help:

1. I come back to windows version of TeXLive, that works but cygwin version
of TeXLive does not.
2. I already found the the cause of the original problem that cause my
TL'2008 fail, it is because the TL'2008 default install it self to "Program
Files", the space in the path name lead the problem that I met.

So, the conclusion is that: TL'200X for windows are actually okay, and I
almost come back to the origin :)


Ken,

It's hard to believe that I don't remove the old installation when I begin
to do a new one, since I've tried many times (at least two).  Anyway, I have
another computer, I will find some time to do another try.

Thanks for all your helps!

Regards,
narke
