Is this all a question of online updates? The basic installer is from 01/28/2024..</p> <p>Do I get the newest MikTex Version from <a href="https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/tags" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/tags</a> 25.4 When I install the windows installer from 2023?</p> <p>This would be O.K.</p>

<p>I am trying to use LaTeX on my windows 7 hp laptop.</p> <p>I used to use LaTeX with MIKTEX and Texmaker on this laptop for about 5 years.</p> <p>Yesterday, I was running a tex file and got a missing package warning. I tried several times to install it, but at each time I got an error.</p> <p>I checked the error on the internet and I learned that I should uninstall and then reinstall miktex.</p> <p>I uninstalled it. However, when I tried to reinstall it, I was unable to do that and learned that MiKTeX no longer supports Windows 7.</p> <p>I also tried to install TeXstudio, but then I got the following error:</p> <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/M6OjmSip.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/M6OjmSip.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p> <p>Is there any alternative that I can smoothly install on Windows 7?</p> <p>Thank you in advance</p>

Now when I try to uninstall MiKTeX from Control panel, it gives following error: <strong>"Windows API error 5: Access is denied"</strong>. How to uninstall it now. I am beginner in LaTeX.</p>

<p>I don't have admin rights, getting the repository online is blocked and are not allowed to bypass it and I cannot put a USB drive on my computer. I do have MiKTeX installed (but basic so no package installed).</p> <p>Because of all my limitations, the solution I found was to install LaTeX packages by simply using Copy/Paste on the packages. A colleague gave me the files and folders of LaTeX packages and I copied it to <code>C:\Users\&lt;my username&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\</code>. I then tested adding <code>\usepackage{hyperref}</code> in my <code>.tex</code>. I run <code>pdflatex document.tex</code> and get:</p> <pre class="lang-bash prettyprint-override"><code>This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (MiKTeX 23.10) (preloaded format=pdflatex.fmt) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (document.tex LaTeX2e &lt;2025-08-07&gt; patch level 1 L3 programming layer &lt;2025-08-07&gt; (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/latex/base\article.cls Document Class: article 2023/05/17 v1.4n Standard LaTeX document class (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/latex/base\size10.clo)) (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/generic/babel\babel.sty (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/generic/babel\txtbabel.def) ************************************* * Local config file bblopts.cfg used * (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/latex/arabi\bblopts.cfg) (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/latex/babel-english\english.ldf)) (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/generic/babel/locale/en\babel-english.tex) (C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex/latex/hyperref\hyperref.sty </code></pre> <p>And opens the message:</p> <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/bKsvi.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/bKsvi.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p> <p>I understand I succeded in installing hyperref but not ltxcmds. However, the file <code>C:\Users\&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex\generic\ltxcmds\ltxcmds.sty</code> exists.</p> <p>How can I tell MiKTeX to look there? In MiKTeX console I already have ``C:\Users&lt;User Name&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX` in <strong>Settings -&gt; Directories</strong></p> <p>Any other solution will be great.</p>

<p>I have previously used LaTex in limited extend in Microsoft Word but since I started working on some personal projects using VSCode, I decided to start using Latex to write my papers there too.</p> <p>Sadly I cannot seem to run it, at least not completely, and at the same time I'm having troubles understanding all the documentation.</p> <p>What ive done so far is add LaTex and LaTex Workshop on my VSCode, I <strong>haven't</strong> gone through the installation process in their respective documentations, as I have trouble understanding what exactly am I supposted to install.</p> <p>Regardless, I tried creating a .tex file, and all seemed to work well until I attempted to create a matrix.</p> <pre><code>\begin{bmatrix}[ Z\cdot\omega_Y-Y\cdot\omega_Z &amp; X\cdot\omega_Z-Z\cdot\omega_X &amp; X\cdot\omega_X-X\cdot\omega_Y] \end{bmatrix} </code></pre> <p>This code creates an error when compiling, only if I use &quot;matrix&quot; instead of &quot;bmatrix&quot; and dont use a &quot;&amp;&quot; does it not crash. I also can't seem to create a new row in the matrix.</p> <p>I very much apologize if this can all be resolved reading documentation carefully, however I am quite overwhelmed by the amount of information and frankly quite confused as though what to do.</p> <p>Any help will be very much appreciated.</p>

<p>I am having trouble with the installation of MikTeX.</p> <p>Specifications: I am using Windows 11 (Version 22H2 (Build 22621.3527)).</p> <p>The problem is this:</p> <p>Yesterday I installed MikTeX according to (<a href="https://miktex.org/howto/install-miktex" rel="noreferrer">the instructions given on the MiKTeX homepage</a>) (I did install it into the default directory) using the <a href="https://miktex.org/download" rel="noreferrer">basic installer</a>. However, when running an update via the MikTeX Console I got a notification that the package miktex-qt5-bin-x64 was damaged and needed to be repaired, so I attempted to update it using the console. But upon my attempt to restart MiKTeX Console I got the error message</p> <pre><code>This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: windows. </code></pre> <p>Of course the issue here is that it is not really possible to uninstall MiKTeX when the console cannot be launched. So my question is: What is a possible way to fix the installation? Alternatively, what is the best way to uninstall MiKTeX in this situation?</p>

<p>I'm trying to create a local package repository to be used during installing miktex on a system not connected to the internet. I want to install miktex and load the packages I need in one command (or at least, do it completely unattended by user).</p> <p>As a start I have a directory, C:\MyRepo\ containing these 3 files:</p> <ol> <li>miktex-zzdb1-2.9.tar.lzma</li> <li>miktex-zzdbb-2.9.tar.lzma</li> <li>floatrow.zip ( package file)</li> </ol> <p>I go to run my installer as follows:</p> <p>basic-miktex-2.9.6643-x64.exe --auto-install=yes --unattended --install-from-local-repository --local-package-repository=C:\MyRepo</p> <p>When I run this, I get "The specified local repository does not exist". However, if I fully install miktex, and then in the package manager specify my local repo, it seems to accept it as a local repository.</p> <p>Is there something I'm doing wrong on the command line args to specify the package repo, or perhaps something not quite right with my local repo directory contents? </p>

<p>I am using MikTex on a Windows 10 work machine to produce work documents. It worked fine until I tried to install package hyperref. I found I couldn't install any packages, presumably because of some firewall blockage. I tried to set up a local repository, but that got blocked too, with a &quot;timeout reached, error 28&quot; message. I tried to select a different net repository, but the list it offered me was empty, and it did not allow me to enter the URL of a repository. I tried various other things through the MikTex console with no results - often getting the &quot;timeout reached&quot; error..</p> <p>So then I followed a suggestion to do a full MikTex installation, so that it would not ever need to request packages. I followed the instructions and downloaded the Net Installer from the MikTex site. But that got blocked as well, presumably at the stage when it tried to connect to a mirror and download all the packages.</p> <p>I can connect to mirror sites in a browser and manually download from them, but attempts by MikTex to do that fail.</p> <p>It looks like what I need is a downloadable installer that, once downloaded, doesn't need to download anything else - so a full 4GB-ish file containing all packages (the Net Installer file is only 100-something MB), or else a way to manually download all the packages to a dir and tell MikTex to use them. For the latter approach, I couldn't see a way to download all packages, at the mirror I looked at. Further, I can't see any way to tell MikTex to just get packages from an ordinary directory on the local machine. It seems to insist on getting them from a dir that it has set up as a repository, and attempts to do that get blocked, presumably because they involve it trying to connect to a net mirror.</p> <p>Can anybody help me solve this problem?</p> <p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>I am using Pop!_os 18.04 LTS (which is based on Ubuntu 18.04) and I am trying to get program to run which makes heavy use of LaTeX. I am using the MiKTeX package manager to install the TeX packages that the program requires. I am stuck on trying to get this package <code>dsfont</code> to install. According to <a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/96873/how-to-install-dsfont-package">this</a> answer, installing texlive-fonts-extra should have fixed it. I tried using <code>sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra</code> and it installs correctly but the error still stands. </p> <p>The same thread also explains how <code>dstroke</code> is the distribution package name in MiKTeX for <code>dsfont</code>. However, I cannot find a package named <code>dstroke</code> in MiKTeX. The search returns an empty list. The had suggested that a package named <code>doublestroke</code> was being used in TeX live for getting <code>dstroke</code>. So I tried searching for that in MiKTeX just in case and I was able to find it and install it. But that also did not fix the error. I cannot find any other pointer to installing this.

This file:</p> <pre><code>\documentclass{article} \begin{document} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \end{document} </code></pre> <p>compiles just fine with PDFLaTeX, but with XeLaTeX produces no pdf and the following log:</p> <pre><code>2025-08-07 11:34:55,942+0200 INFO xelatex - this process (11536) started by texmaker in directory C:\Users\abc\Desktop\sample with command line: xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode sample.tex 2025-08-07 11:34:55,942+0200 INFO xelatex - running on Windows 10.0.19044 2025-08-07 11:34:55,947+0200 INFO xelatex - this is MiKTeX-XETEX 4.9.0 (0.999994) (MiKTeX 22.8.28) 2025-08-07 11:34:55,952+0200 INFO xelatex - allowing known shell commands 2025-08-07 11:34:56,198+0200 INFO xelatex.core - start process: miktex-dvipdfmx.exe -q -E -o sample.pdf 2025-08-07 11:34:56,726+0200 INFO xelatex - this process (11536) finishes with exit code 0 </code></pre> <p>While attempting to compile slightly more elaborate files that worked just fine before I reinstalled, I get the &quot;dvipdfmx:fatal&quot; prompt.

My uninformed guess would be that some leftovers from the previous installation interfere with the process. I have tried reinstalling it all, cleaning registers etc. but to no gain. Any hints you might have will be much appreciated: I have struggled with this for a few days and do not really see what else to try.</p> <p>EDIT: I noticed that while a fresh TeXnicCenter installation compiles these files just fine, after some time - presumably after a few attempts to compile with Texmaker - XeLaTeX tool via TexnicCenter fails as well (with the same dvipdfmx:fatal prompt).</p> <p>Perhaps <a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/617157/xelatex-produces-dvipdfmxfatal-invalid-font-1-22-error-only-on-certain-f">this thread</a> is somehow related (logs are similar), but I did not find any stray Type 1 fonts in my font directories, as was the issue there.</p>
