This problem was already reported by Yue:

It would be useful if OP could send us the output from:
install-tl.bat --version
I didn't have that problem with the lastest revisions.

In all fairness we can't blame the user for following the given
advice. It clearly says:
*Renaming it to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem*
Too bad that this will actually *CREATE* a problem. It's one of those
stupid ideas of M$, you know, how to give (un)helpful advice to the
user.
