[tex-live] .bat files and emacs [slightly off topic]

I'm not sure at all that it was encoding problems that caused the problems. Seemed to go away when I used a modified version of install-tl.bat instead.
Basically I noticed that starting the script via the dos prompt and by double clicking, did not give the same results. Then I gave up and used install-tl.bat as a basis instead

Which encoding and options to zip are you guys using when preparing,
say install-tl.zip?
We don't do anything special to munge the encodings. Just zip -rq.
No one has ever complained. The script is
Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-make-install-pkg.
However, zip does have the -l option to force LF to CRLF, or -ll to
force CRLF to LF. Maybe that would help you. unzip also has options to
deal with line endings (and, as far as I know, this is one reason why
CTAN prefers .zip uploads).
Good luck,
