Hello, I have checked my configuration: Latex.exe is in D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin "D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin" is not in: HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment:Path
But it is (once) in: HKey_Users\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1085031214-1580436667-839522115-4110\Environm ent:Path I guess the reason is that I have installed Miktex for myself only and not for all users. I usually do that if I have the choice. Thanks for doing this by the way, while I personnally prefer Angus' version, I really need your version for my colleagues. I will test your next version.

Hm, you used the Small version of the installer and it aborts the installation because it didn't find MiKTeX, right? If the path " D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin" is really in the PATH variable, could you please check if there is the file "latex.exe" and look in the registry HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment if the path to the latex.exe is there in the entry "Path" It detects your MiKTeX when the path is in this registry key. Ah, perhaps you have two entries in the PATH variable that contains the a folder "miktex". If yes move the actual path at the first position of the PATH. (The problem is that MiKTeX doesn't clean up the PATH when it is deinstalled so that you have more than one entries when you reinstall it. MiKTeX sets the actual one at the first position so that the installer will use the first PATH entry with the folder "miktex" as folder to latex.exe. The next installer version will check every PATH entry with a folder "miktex" for the latex.exe). Please report me what was the problem. If nothing helps, use the Network version of the installer and set the path to latex.exe manually. thanks and regards Uwe ____ This message and any files transmitted with it are legally privileged and intended for the sole use of the individual(s) or entity to whom they are addressed.
