Ah I see. So this is just a one-time issue and it's not that any update of MiKTeX would force us to release a new installer.

Why isn't the MiKTeX installation itself just updated without LyX needing to do anything? Because I triggered a redevelopment of the way how packages are installed. Therefore the command line parameters to do this will be changed. However, I see that no MiKTeX installer with these changes has been published yet. I will act when this is the case. regards Uwe

Why "force"? When there is a MiKTeX update the repositories refuse to work with older MiKTeX installations? Why isn't the MiKTeX installation itself just updated without LyX needing to do anything? Would the bundle be the only binary affected or would the installer binary also change? Thanks, Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: miktex update has no effect
Danke Uwe. Going to the update wizard via the package manager, rather than directly (even as admin) seems to fix the problem. thanks, Ian On Tuesday, January 30, 2018, 11:59:39 PM GMT-5, Uwe Stöhr wrote: Am 30.01.2018 um 07:31 schrieb Ian Worthington: > 1.

This sounds like a problem with the package repository. An unfinished update explains your second problem. Therefore please start MiKTeX's update program (the Admin version) via the Windows start menu. At first try to run the update normally. If this succeeds, please run the update again because for older installations 2 runs could be necessary. If the update is still not successful, restart the MiKTeX update and select in the welcome page to select another package repository. Then it should work. If so, please also run the update a second time until there are no more updates found. regards Uwe

Re: miktex update has no effect
This is the bundle. Maybe it's still in the log? Where do I find that?

miktex update has no effect
I've just installed the lyx 2.3 rc on my windows 10 system. I have two problems so far: 1. When I do a miktex update and select packages to update, there is activity, and no errors recorded in the log, but when I return to the update package list nothing has changed. 2. The very first time I clicked VIEW on the sample document it gave an error message, which I regret I neglected to make a note of. It works fine subsequently, but something to be aware of for new users maybe? Ian
