Re: [MiKTeX] cannot create format files

[Henning H. <los...@mi...>]

Hello all,

I experienced the same problem. After updating MikTeX and installing new
packages and then updating file name database, to create new format files
failed. Here's my error message

Creating "latex.efmt"...
"pdfetex.exe" --ini --interaction=nonstopmode --halt-on-error --alias
pdflatex *\pdfcompresslevel=9 \pdfdecimaldigits=3 \pdfhorigin=1 true in
\pdfoutput=1 \pdfpageheight=297 true mm \pdfpagewidth=210 true mm
\pdfoptionpdfminorversion=4 \pdfpkresolution=600 \pdfvorigin=1 true in
\input latex.ltx \dump
! TEX.POOL doesn't match; TANGLE me again.
initexmf: pdfetex.exe failed on "latex.ltx". 

Any hints or help? Thanks in advance and best wishes
