On my Windows 7 64-bit PC and Windows 8.1 64-bit laptop, MiKTeX 2.9 fails to install. I downloaded the latest version of the 32-bit installer, but when the process is almost complete an error message pops up: "The operation could not be completed for the following reason: The operation failed for some reason. Details: C:\MiKTeX\miktex/bin/initexmf.exe" I have tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, both produce similar error messages. I have attached the log file from the setup. I simply do not understand why MiKTeX does not install. setup-2014-03-19-15-00.log <http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/file/n8535/setup-2014-03-19-15-00.log> error.png <http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/file/n8535/error.png> -- View this message in context: http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/MiKTeX-2-9-Installation-fails-tp8535.html Sent from the MiKTeX mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

(Re-enable it after installing, regardless of the success, obviously). Additionally, which mirror are you using? David |

I tried installing with anti-virus/firewall disabled, same error. I used the link provided at miktex.org/download which is a ctan.org mirror: mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/setup/basic-miktex-2.9.5105.exe -- View this message in context: http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/MiKTeX-2-9-Installation-fails-tp8535p8537.html Sent from the MiKTeX mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Darn - the log seems to show that program files (.exe, .dll) not being installed properly - it might have been an easy "fix"! > I used the link provided at miktex.org/download which is a ctan.org > mirror: > mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/setup/basic-miktex-2.9.5105.exe Perhaps try instead the net installer (http://www.miktex.org/download under "Other Downloads").

Well perhaps it is simply a problem with the PATH variable. Btw: I have already seen a similar error message http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/161041/fail-in-miktex-install-the-operation-failed-for-some-reason I suspected a problem with the share setup but Jay_One used SharedSetup: false, so this can't be the source of the problem. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ |

I tried using the net installer on miktex.org and I got the same error message. -- View this message in context: http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/MiKTeX-2-9-Installation-fails-tp8535p8543.html Sent from the MiKTeX mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

For me turning the virus filter off solved the problem. > Den 22/03/2014 kl. 23.26 skrev "Jay_One" <jor...@gm...>: > > I tried using the net installer on miktex.org and I got the same error > message. > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/MiKTeX-2-9-Installation-fails-tp8535p8543.html > Sent from the MiKTeX mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book > "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their > applications.
