'broken pipe' means that the back end, i.e. the perl script
install-tl, crashed. See whether you get better feedback when you
run the installer in text mode:

install-tl-windows.bat -no-gui

Also, the installer assumes that it is in step with the online
repository. So, if you downloaded the repository yesterday, then you
should not try to run it today but re-download it.
