Thanks, I can reproduce the problem (only from the `.iso` version)
which installs without problems directly on Win11 but it crashes under
cygwin:

FULL (default settings)
$ cat release-texlive.txt
TeX Live (https://tug.org/texlive) version 2024

This file is public domain.  It is read by install-tl --version,
tlmgr --version, and texconfig conf, and a final line appended with
the precise version number by tl-update-images during a build.

The following blank line helps avoid confusing output when
used directly from svn, so don't delete it.


texlive-20240312

$./install -no-gui
..

Rerunning the installer will try to restart the installation.

Here I have made a mistake, the chosen theme is "small".

small scheme (basic + xetex, metapost, a few languages) from `.iso` NO
epstopdf :(

$./install -no-gui

Are OK, but it does not install the `epstopdf` script, the strange
thing is that it does install the `epstopdf-pkg` package (which makes
no sense without the script).
