I was surprised too!

I tested all variations of invoking pdflatex and compiling sample2e (see 
screenshot) withour any success.

For the moment I take your statement from your previous mail an will 
switch to a local installation.

But we should keep in mind this line from 
http://www.tug.org/texlive/windows.html#tlaunch

'TeX Live is designed for shared use: you can install TeX Live on a 
network for use on client workstations. All it takes is adding TeX Live 
to the searchpath.'

Something must have changed on windows (or samba?)

best,
Andreas
