+<h2>1 The TeX Live installation process</h2>
After inserting the TeX Live CD into the CD-ROM drive, autostart should activate tlpmgui. If it does not, click Start, then Run, then type &lt;drive letter&gt;:\setuptl\tplmgui.exe, (or &lt;drive letter&gt;:\texlive\setuptl\tplmgui.exe if you are installing from the TeX Collection DVD) where &lt;drive letter&gt; is the drive letter with the TeX Live CD (or TeX Collection DVD), and then click OK.<br><br>
The installation window titled "TeX Live installation and maintenance utility" should open. It contains the following sections: "Main customization", "Install", "Select a scheme", "Select a system", "Directories" and "Options".<br><br>
In the "Directories" section the installation drive (directory) next to the "CD/DVD" button should be displayed (e.g., "F:/", or "F:/texlive/" for the DVD), but if it is not, then click the "CD/DVD" button and select the CD drive with the TeX Live CD (or the "texlive" directory for the TeX Collection DVD).<br><br>

The shortcut for tlpmgui will be added to the Start->Programs->TeXLive2005 menu. The same will happen for "dviout" if it was selected for installation.<br><br>
If it is needed (Win9x/WinME), you will be asked to reboot your computer.

+<h3>2 "Run from DVD"</h3>
An additional tab "Run from DVD" shows if tlpmgui is run from the TeX Live DVD. Here one may prepare the system for running live i.e., directly from the DVD. Clicking the "Setup" buttom tells tlpmgui to set environment variables and create formats on the local hard disk.<br><br>
Since now TeX Live is ready to use -- the
only thing to remember is to insert the DVD into the DVD drive.

+<h2>3 Maintenance of the TeX Live installation</h2>
If you have TeX Live installed, you can use tlpmgui along with the TeX Live CD/TeX Collection DVD for modifying and maitaining your installation.<br><br>
As the tlpmgui shortcut is available in the Start->Programs->TeXLive2005 menu, start it from here. The maintenance window titled "TeX Live installation and maintenance utility" shows. It contains several tabs: "Add Packages", "Remove packages", "Manage installation", "Remove installation".

-<h3>"Manage the installation"</h3>
+<h3>3.2 "Manage the installation"</h3>
The functions available in the tab labelled "Manage the installation" are helpful in performing actions needed e.g., after a language package, font or format was added, for refreshing the installation database or when packages are added manually (without tlpmgui help).
-<h3>"Remove the TeX Live installation"</h3>
+<h3>3.3 "Remove the TeX Live installation"</h3>
The tab labelled "Remove the TeX Live installation" opens a window which contains functionality not worth describing and we do not know who would need it and what it is for... :-)
<h4>Attention!</h4>
Under Windows the setuptl directory (containing tlpmgui and related files) will not be deleted. You will have to do it manually.<br><br>
The texmf-local directory for your local additions will only be deleted if you mark it for the operation in the "Remove the TeX Live installation" window.<br>
