MikTex 2.2 Installation Problem with Setup Wizard 2.2.7
masayoshi hayashi
Upon trials of downloading from several mirror sites and installing
MikTeX using the setup wizard,
I have encountered problems listed below. The bottom line is I am
still unable to use MikTeX.
I have never installed previous versions of MikTeX in my PC.
My PC's OS is WinXP Pro. I Logged in as Administrator.
I checked requirments for installation in the MikTeX homepage. I
verified the two files exist in my PC.
DebugView produced the following errors while installing MikTeX: (I
enabled filter to catch word "error" to save space)
[1780] miktexlib: CRT error in 'C:\work\miktex-2.2\lib\cfg.cpp' on
line 880:

[1780] setup: error: cannot find updmap.cfg
[1636] miktexlib: internal error in 'process.cpp', line 391
I tried the following:
c:\>path
PATH=C:\texmf\miktex\bin\;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;......etc......
c:\>latex /temp/test.tex
'latex' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Then I found out latex.exe is missing in C:\texmf\miktex\bin\
directory.
Without knowing what I am doing, checking out
http://www.miktex.org/setup.html, I tried in C:\texmf\miktex\config\
initexmf --mklinks
Because Windows explorer finds formats.ini file only in this
directory. This is for the case with upgrading from MiKTEX 2.1. But I
tried it out anyway....
Then the above command resulted in creating latex.exe file.
Now I tired
C:\>latex /temp/test.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (MiKTeX 2.2)
initexmf: latex.ltx: source file does not exist
cannot make latex.fmt
I can't find the default format file!
But this latex.ltx file exists in C:\texmf\tex\latex\base.
Where to go from here?
Thanks for your attention and time.

I have some problem with Win2000 and XP, when suddenly the PC
reboot and after that either freeze or completely unable to boot.
I am about to report to MikTex about this.

This is a general command for whenever latex.exe, tex.exe etc are
missing.

Uhm. Looks like your filename database doesn't get updated. Try an
initexmf -u
first.

Regenerate the LaTeX format:
initexmf --dump=latex

I have tried both commands two of you mentioned:
C:\>initexmf -u
...................
C:\>initexmf --dump=latex
initexmf: latex.ltx: source file does not exist
C:\>latex /temp/test.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (MiKTeX 2.2)
initexmf: latex.ltx: source file does not exist
cannot make latex.fmt
I can't find the default format file!
No luck yet. Upon search, I found latex.ltx exists in
C:\texmf\tex\latex\base. I have also noticed in mo.exe (MikTeX
Option), under General tab, attempting to update all format files
fails and results in freezing dialog.
I am not a programmer but if you let me know any good resources that
may help resolve these problems, I would be appreciated. (in
particular, how MikTeX works.) I checked out in the manual Chapter 9.
The MiKTeX Configuration File. I tried (w/o knowing what I'm doing):
C:\findtexmf latex.ltx
But returned blank line. This indicates config.ini file is not
properly setup?
Here is the setup log file that was generated under
C:\texmf\miktex\config\ I can see "initexmf: mp not found" and other
errors thereafter. Parts of Directories for Shell links at the end of
the log are in ? marks because they're in Japanese which is a result
of Japanese localized version of XP Pro. But I can see these links in
Start->Program Files menu.

knowing what I'm doing....)
Refering to http://www.miktex.org/manual/ch04s03.html,
I start mo.exe (MikTeX Options),
go to Roots tab
select and put root directory c:/texmf in the top of the list
press Refresh FNDB button
Then going to General tab, click Refresh Now button in File name
database frame (I guess it's the same thing as the previous step...?)
Then I press update now button in Format files frame.
I receive the following errors while updating, but this function seems
working now:
Creating plain.fmt...
initexmf: omega.exe not found
initexmf: lambda.tex: source file does not exist
initexmf: etex.src: source file does not exist
Creating latex.efmt...
I find none of the above files exist. Perhaps these are things
installed for "large" setup installation? (I selected "small"
installation.)
Anyway latex command now works!
Ok everyone, I seem to making some progress magically (again without
knowing what I'm doing....)

From the initial log it would seem that everything installed
correctly, but since nothing seems to work, it definitely didn't. And
given that the files are there, the most probable problem is that the
filename databases don't get updated correctly. What do you have in
c:\localtexmf\miktex\config ?

Yes, they are Omega and e-TeX relative files. If you don't use them,
ignore them (or, in the formats tab, set them to "Exclude")

You can safely ignore these errors - these formats are only part of
the Large install.
It's very strange that using MikTeX Options makes any difference since
it's just calling initexmf with the correct options. Anyway, the local
texmf tree should by the first (top) in the list. Could you please
change it back and report here if the problems return.

I put the localtexmf directory on the top of the list and updated. The
problem now comes back again as described earlier. While updating the
format file in general tab, format files, (I guess this corresponds to
initexmf -u), the pop-up dialog now spits out the following:
Removing C:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt\pdflatex.fmt...
initexmf: latex.ltx: source file does not exist
Removing C:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt\plain.fmt...
initexmf: plain.tex: source file does not exist
Removing C:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt\latex.fmt...
initexmf: latex.ltx: source file does not exist
Removing C:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt\pdftex.fmt...
initexmf: plain.tex: source file does not exist
I have saved to a temporary directory copies of both config and
formats files in C:\texmf\miktex\config\ directory and compared both
cases local c:\localtexmf on top and root c:\texmf on top. Upon
eyeballing, both files seem identical in each of two cases. I also
checked:
c:\DownloadExe>fc formatsLocalTop.txt formatsRootTop.txt
Comparing files formatsLocalTop.txt and FORMATSROOTTOP.TXT
FC: no differences encountered
c:\DownloadExe>fc miktexconfigLocalTop.txt miktexconfigRootTop.txt
Comparing files miktexconfigLocalTop.txt and MIKTEXCONFIGROOTTOP.TXT
FC: no differences encountered
So these two files config and formats are not source of problem? Could
it be possible that local and root directory names are switched in the
process of searching files, so that I see root on top in mo.exe roots
tab but the actual process switches this order so it works? From what
I read in manual, I see localtexmf directory is used runtime while
creating dvi file from tex file so my suspicion makes sense?
As I indicated in the begining of the thread, I have tried several
times downloading both setup.exe 2.2.7 and download zip files from
different mirror sites but the same problem seems to pertain with
WinXP pro Build 2600 with SP1 (Japanese). So the files seem to be not
corrupted? (one notable mirror was one site in Japan where I saw
latex.exe works but package update manager exe file did not exist.
Also usepackage{amssymb} did not work.) Could it be my OS missing some
necessary system files for MikTeX other than the two files
comctl32.dll and wininet.dll? (I have both of these current as in XP)
Does anybody have MikTeX and XP combo install clean?
And here are the two files in the c:\localtexmf directory on top when
the problems exist:
