My question is similar to this one however I have tried installing strawberry perl and since the problem arose after an update not during an installation. I am running a windows 64bit machine with a fresh install of strawberry perl.
I tried running tlmgr in administrator but this did not help. The system says that perl.exe has stopped working anytime I try to run tlmgr.exe or uninstall Tex Live 2014 (my current version).
Thanks in advance for any help.
