Problem solved. PDFLatex doesn't die after a problematic run due to an uninstalled package. It was blocking some files which, I guess, needed to be modified by the Package Manager. After killing PDFLatex installation run smoothly.
This was an undocumented error as far as I know. I hope this message will be stored in Google's indexes for all eternity, making troubleshooting a simpler task. ;) Regards. ------------------------------------------------- Julio Rojas [email protected] On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 3:44 PM, Julio Rojas <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, since I reinstalled MikTeX 2.9 (due to the RC2 problem with > 1.6), I've been having the following error while updating/installing > packages: > > MiKTeX Problem Report > Message: Windows API error 87: The parameter is incorrect. > > Data: > C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex/data/le\b1cfc6be702f63eea92ca0fbc9559e5c.fndb > Source: Libraries\MiKTeX\Core\win\winMemoryMappedFile.cpp > Line: 120 > MiKTeX: 2.9 > OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, 64-bit (build 7600) > Invokers: explorer > SystemAdmin: yes > PowerUser: no > Root0: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9 > Root1: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9 > Root2: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9 > Root3: C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9 > UserInstall: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9 > UserConfig: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9 > UserData: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9 > CommonInstall: C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9 > CommonConfig: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9 > CommonData: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9 > > I'm stuck with this problem.
