Here is his result from install-tl.bat -v

   Sorry, no translations available for da_@% (nor da); falling back to 
English.
   Make sure that you have the package "texlive-msg-translations" installed.
   (If you'd like to help translate the installer's messages, please see
   http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html#install-tl-xlate for information.)


after which Perl crashed

It has something to do with the trans.pl file, when it reverts back to a 
default language when it detects that is does not have a translation for 
this.

There is a very strange 'fix'

if one add

use Data::Dumper;

just before

use utf8;

in <installer-dir>/tlpkg/TeXLive/trans.pl

then install-tl.bat works fine on all Win 7's we have tested so far

So couldn't we just add that line to trans.pl for now?
