MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ MiKTeX doesn't work with user session on Windows 7!

[mcescutt]

Hello everybody, When I log in as administrator there isn't problems, the compilation and generating to PDF works fine !

When I log in as user , the command "pdflatex" is not proprely declared on my session.

I must open Maintenance of Miktex to access at the bouton Refresh FNDB....after a long time waiting..... Finally, I can use the command pdflatex.

If I go use Techniccenter to compile a file . It's very too long to wait...about 10 minutes (as user) to generate a document to pdf instead of 10 seconds into session administrator.

- Why in options->roots I can't change the order list in which files are searched ? Please look at my images...

Have you tried to change the order in administrator session or is it only in user session?

Hi

thanks for you response.
I can't change list order as into administrator session.
The button up & down are disabled.

Have you any idea ?

Thanks
Marc

Hm, when I looked to my new MiKTeX (2.9) I see same problem (althought I have only one account - so I'm always logged as administrator). I thought I've seen that you could move the paths in older versions, but perhaps I'm wrong:/ I think the only thing you can do is to 'coppy' all packages from admin to user repositories. I don't know will this work, but I think you could do sth like:

Code: Select all

mpm --admin --verbose --repository="C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8" --import-all

http://miktex.org/2.9/setup
(I'm not shure how exactly you should do it; isn't there a way of installing packages as user to user repositories?)

/The problem why it takes so long it's becaus MiKTeX is searching for files from paths where are almost no files./

I am pleased anyone answered, thanks to you.
But I solved my issue bye downloading and installing MikteX portable.

After reconfigurating Techniccenter With spécifié paths. Everythings works.

Best regards
Bye
