TeXLive and winmm.dll error

[Angelo Graziosi]

Just for completeness...

Today, while upgrading my TeXLive installation, I got

$ tlmgr update --all

... a lot of similar failure ...
`pdftex -ini  -jobname=physe -progname=physe physe.ini' failed
`pdftex -ini  -jobname=phyzzx -progname=phyzzx physe.ini' failed
`pdftex -ini  -jobname=texsis -progname=texsis -translate-file=cp227.tcx 
texsis.
ini' failed
`pdftex -ini  -jobname=xmltex -progname=xmltex *xmltex.ini' failed
`pdftex -ini  -jobname=pdfxmltex -progname=pdfxmltex *pdfxmltex.ini' failed

running fmtutil-sys --byfmt mf ...
done running fmtutil-sys --byfmt mf.
tlmgr: exiting unsuccessfully (status 1).

So I tried, manually:

$ pdftex -ini  -jobname=pdfxmltex -progname=pdfxmltex *pdfxmltex.ini
