Dear MiKTeX users: I have been using MiKTeX 2.9 in a Windows 7 environment (32 bit version) since last October. I installed it in the following way: 1. I have downloaded the full MiKTeX 2.9 package into a directory (E:\Archive\MiKTeX290) by running setup-2.9.3959.exe. 2, After successfully downloading it I run setup-2.9.3959.exe again to install MikTeX 2.9 from the directory E:\Archive\MiKTeX290. The installation directory is C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9 Needless to say that I regularly update my installation in the same way, i.e. , 1. I download the full MiKTeX again into the directory E:\Archive\MiKTeX290 (the new files are downloaded only) and then 2. I run the Update program (of course as an administrator). Everything was OK till this morning. 3. This morning however (after I successfully downloaded the new packages) the update program prompted (after a time) the following error message: No such file or directory: E:\Archive\MiKTeX290\pr.ini What have I done wrong? It is a further problem that the new version of setup-2.9.3959.exe, i.e. setup-2.9.4214.exe is uncapable to download the full MikTeX 2.9 (I wanted to make a new installation), it always stops with the message not responding after it has downloaded a part of MiKtEx 2.9 into a new diectory E:\Archive\MikTeX290New. Please help.

In this case it is probably not relevant, but: doing something as the admin is *not* always the best choice. Don't forget that an admin can only set defaults or install default packages, a user can overwrite such defaults with his own configuration and his own local packages. > Everything was OK till this morning. > > 3.

Try to update on the command line mpm --admin --update Does this work? -- Ulrike Fischer |
