Folder not recognized as valid Installation Source

Post by melhimshaker »

Hello everybody there.

I've faced a problem when trying to install MikTeX2.9 using the "MiKTeX 2.9 Net Installer(64 bit)" on my computer windows 7 64bit. As the miktex.pdf ebook said, I've downloaded the contents of the folder "CTAN directory systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/" to a local folder (F:\nazem2012\nazDownloads2012\MiKTeX2.9packages) on my computer then when I've instructed by the installer to browse for that folder I've got the error:
the directory (F:\nazem2012\nazDownloads2012\MiKTeX2.9packages) is not a valid installation source


Please help me resolve that problem.
Thanks in advance
