Re: [MiKTeX] How to install MikTex 2.8?

[Jean-Jacques v. v. e. <jjv...@gm...>]

Thanks for the advice Uwe,

I see that as I have already installed  MikTek2.7, I need to UPDADE to
MikTex2.8. Following what says in the homepage of MikTex (see below), I can
do step 1, but not 2 (because I dont know how to use the "help mpm" (see
below) in windows).

I am not familiarized with MikTex, but maybe I could uninstall completely
MikTex2.7 before installing MikTex2.8, but I dont know what would happen
with all my previous packages, neither with previous files that I already
have generated.

Kind regards,

Jean - Jacques




Upgrading a previous MiKTeX installation

There is no explicit upgrade mechanism which transforms a MiKTeX 2.7
installation into a MiKTeX 2.8 installation. But you can use the
command-line version of the package manager to import all missing packages
into your MiKTeX 2.8 installation directory. So the upgrade involves these
steps:

   1. install MiKTeX 2.8
   2. import MiKTeX 2.7 packages (see below)
   3. uninstall MiKTeX 2.7

 You can import MiKTeX 2.7 packages with the help of mpm (command-line
variant of the package manager):

mpm --admin --verbose --repository="C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7" --import-all
