Installation of teXlive on Windows fails

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Corey Zhang on May 22, 2021

I tried to install TeXlive on my laptop running Windows 10.

Installing [3110/3342, time/total: 01:23:03/01:29:44]: udesoftec [618k] 
Installing [3111/3342, time/total: 01:23:05/01:29:45]: uebungsblatt [226k]
Installing [3112/3342, time/total: 01:23:06/01:29:45]: uestcthesis [4168k]
Installing [3113/3342, time/total: 01:23:10/01:29:39]: uhc [3517k]
untar: untarring C:UsersxxxAppDataLocalTempmTonFCCsKX3U9pWgDmDkuhc.tar failed (in C:texlive2016texmf-dist)

TLPDB::_install_package: untar failed
Installation failed.
Rerunning the installer will try to restart the installation.
Or you can restart by running the installer with:
  install-tl-windows.bat --profile installation.profile [EXTRA-ARGS]
or
  install-tl-advanced.bat --profile installation.profile [EXTRA-ARGS]

Please give a hand and a solution on it. Thanks!

I was struggling with similar problems and got it working now. What I have done differently now:

  • Store installer on same hard drive partition as the installation.
  • Run install-tl-advanced.bat instead of install-tl-windows.bat.

Hope this helps anybody else.

Be sure to check your environment variables for other tar.exe files, I had one from mingw that caused the problem. Removing the mingw bin folder (temporary) from the path solved the problem.

Deactivating microsoft's real time protection solved the problem for me.
