The latest version translates the shortcut locations to short names.
Try the net installer at
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/
The file install-tl/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLWinGoo.pm should have a date of
october 29, otherwise your mirror is has not yet been updated for
this modification and you should wait a bit longer. I hope this
solves the problem.
