Thanks for the help, Patrick. You guessed it right, I didn't pay 
attention and forgot to select the symlinks option. I uninstalled 
texlive and restarted the process. After running install-tl, I entered O 
and then L. Upon entering O, I am asked for 'New value for Binary 
directory', 'New value for main directory' and 'New value for info 
directory' with no defaults provided. What default directories should I 
enter?

Thanks.
Tejas
