This is fixed now. I use this code to catch all TeXLive cases:
--------------------
; test if TeXLive is installed
; as described at TeXLives' homepage there should be an entry in the PATH
${if} $LatexPath == ""
ReadRegStr $String HKLM "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment" "Path"
StrCpy $Search "TeXLive"
Call LaTeXCheck
${endif}
; check for the current user Path variable (the case when it is a
live CD/DVD)
${if} $LatexPath == ""
ReadRegStr $String HKCU "Environment" "Path"
StrCpy $Search "texlive"
StrCpy $2 "TeXLive"
Call LaTeXCheck
${endif}
; check if the variable TLroot exists (the case when it is installed
using the program "tlpmgui")
${if} $LatexPath == ""
ReadRegStr $String HKLM "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment" "TLroot"
StrCpy $LatexPath "$String\bin\win32"
; check if the latex.exe exists in the $LatexPath folder
!insertmacro FileCheck $5 "latex.exe" "$LatexPath"
${if} $5 == "False"
StrCpy $LatexPath ""
${endif}
${endif}

Probably TL2006 will use tlpmgui for windows too.
I bought the "TeX Collection 2005" and this comes with the tlpmgui
version 8.4.2.11 / 1.0 2005.10.31 as installer for win32.
I've see that you are one of the authors, so here are some annotations:
Uninstallation:
- the folders
\setup-win32
\win32\bin
\texmf-local
aren't deleted when TeXLive is uninstalled. I expected a clean
uninstallation that simply deletes TeXLive's install directory.
- the folder
\texmf-local isn't deleted when TeXLive live CD/DVD is unregistered.
- WinDVI is still registered as default DVI-viewer after TeXLive's
deinstallation.
Installation:
The installation on harddisk using the scheme "basic" lasts more than 45
minutes! Why that? (MiKTeX was already installed before I installed
TeXLive. Could it be that the interfer altough this shouldn't be the
case because I installed it on a different harddisk partition.

At last another question:
Does Windows uses the copepage "Windows CP-1250" as standard/default on
polish systems?
