Paulo,



I am on a windows 10 machine, I received an exemption from the Chief Info
Sec Officer for my branch of the company for access to TeXLive install.

   - My computer needs to stay on VPN for any internet connection.
   - I would need to get permission to use a USB copy of the software or
   repositories, and probably a scan of them as well by information security.
   - My plan is to do an install on my machine, then request an install on
   the servers for all of the users to compile TeX documents.
   - We are currently using LyX 2 and an outdated and buggy version of
   MikTex.
   - I am open to full downloading the repository on my computer before
   installing anything. But the Linux options are a little out of my current
   comfort zone.



On the download:

When I download using command line or the .exe it will run for 20 plus
hours for the full install of all the package, but then it will give an
error at the end stating that it cannot read tar.exe files.



This is a screenshot of the errors at the end of the install. I was not
able to locate an error or log file for the install.





Thanks,

It would be nice if you can give us some more detail, like where is it
hanging? Can the machine be moved outside the VPN temporarily?

Tyler,



Have you been able to check if the installer has been fully downloaded? And
also what is the OS you are trying to make this installation on?

Hi All,



I am trying to install a single user version of TeXlive. I have not been
able to successfully run the installer after multiple attempts, often
lasting more than a day. I work over secure VPN and have received
permissions from the necessary IT and InfoSec admins.



I am not sure where to find log files for further support, but I would like
to get y’all the important information so I can get the software downloaded
for use.



Thank you.
