I've successfully installed MiKTeX on my laptop and home computer (both WinXP), and now want to install it on our computer network so that all users can produce PDFs from LaTeX source.
I naively thought that I could install MiKTeX on the server, then share the program directory and map a drive to it so that all users can access pdflatex. As you can guess, it doesn't work! There seems to be some configuration files that are installed into the c:\documents and settings\...\Application Data directory on the server, which means that pdflatex fails when you run it from a client machine.
My question: is what I'm trying to do actually possible?
If so, help! 
If not, is there another way (other than installing MiKTeX on all computers on our network ... which I guess I could do ... I was just trying to save myself some work! 8O )
