Dear list, we have a problem with the MiKTeX installation from a local package repository. We downloaded the "total" version of MiKTeX and attempted to install these files from a local directory. There are roughly 1200 .cab files in it including README.TXT with the first line saying "This folder contains the "Total MiKTeX" package set." When running setup-2.4.1705.exe with setupwiz.opt [1] the unattended installation works as intended but only 96 packages are installed. This seems to be the basic set of packages rather than a total installation. Older versions of setup.exe do not have this problem (ok, they had a problem with the All Users Start Menue), they install everything as intended. In [2] I noticed that in SetupGlobalVars there is a case statement which sets the package level either to essential or basic, but the total package level seems to be missing (although TestLocalRepository can handle COMPLETE_MIKTEX_LEGACY, i.e. complete/total installation). I could be wrong because my C++ knowledge is not that exciting, but I think that something is simply missing in the setup routine. Did anyone else experience similar problems? Any solutions for this? Otherwise I will have to use the older version of setup... Thanks for comments, Anton [1] setupwiz.opt: --install-from-local-repository --local-package-repository c:\PostInstall\miktex --unattended --installation-directory c:\Programme\texmf --local-directory c:\Programme\localtexmf --shared [2] http://cvs.miktex.org/viewcvs.py/miktex/miktex/Wizards/Setup/Setup.cpp?view=markup |
