+The \f(CW\*(C`install\-tl\*(C'\fR script copies itself into the installed tree.
+Usually, it can be run from there, using the installed tree as the
+source for another installation. Occasionally, however, there may be
+incompatibilities in the code of the new \f(CW\*(C`install\-tl\*(C'\fR and the
+infrastructure, resulting in (typically) inscrutable Perl errors. The
+way forward is to run \f(CW\*(C`install\-tl\*(C'\fR out of the installer package
+(\f(CW\*(C`install\-tl\-unx.tar.gz\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`install\-tl.zip\*(C'\fR) instead of the
+installation. Feel free to also report the bug and generally the code
+can be easily synced up again.
+.PP
+By the way, do not try to use \f(CW\*(C`install\-tl\*(C'\fR to adjust options or
+installed packaged in an existing installed tree. Use \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR instead.
