This problem was already reported by Yue:

http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2009-January/019759.html

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.
