Re: [MiKTeX] Installing problems under Vista

[Denis S. <dn...@gm...>]

Thanks for your reply! No, actually it doesn't since I was not able to
download packages (a well known problem nowadays:)), but at least I was able
to execute the installer.
It's not that type of "Unknown archive file type" problem. I will post what
exactly Vista says whenever I try to install 2.7 as soon as I have an
opportunity.
And I was in the administrator mode when trying to install.
The strangest thing is that the message regarding "Basic MiKTeX 2.7"
Installer. It said (almost literally) "The file is not a Win32
application"...
