Re: New Installation under miktex, not working

[Christopher G D Tipper <chris.tipper@gmail.com>]

Some defaults from my old MiKTeX .ini file (local-texmf/scripts/perl/ 
texexec.ini) I can't test this as I have defected to a saner  
platform :-)

enable variable miktex at top of file and some variation of this below.

for  miktex  set  UsedInterfaces    to  en, uk
for  miktex  set  UserInterface     to  uk
for  miktex  set  TeXExecutable     to  pdfetex.exe
for  miktex  set  TeXVirginFlag     to  -initialize
for  miktex  set  TeXBatchFlag      to  -interaction=batchmode
for  miktex  set  TeXFormatFlag     to  &
for  miktex  set  MpToTeXExecutable to  mptotex.exe
for  miktex  set  MpVirginFlag      to  -initialize
for  miktex  set  MpPassString      to
for  miktex  set  MpBatchFlag       to  -interaction=batchmode
for  miktex  set  MpFormat	    to  metafun
for  miktex  set  MpFormatFlag      to  -undump=
for  miktex  set  TeXFormatPath   to "d:\local-texmf\miktex\fmt\"
for  miktex  set  ConTeXtPath     to "d:\local-texmf\tex\context\base\"
for  miktex  set  SetupPath       to "c:\Progra~1\MiKTeX\miktek\base\"
for  miktex  set  TeXScriptsPath  to "d:\local-texmf\scripts\context 
\perl\"
for  miktex  set  TeXProgramPath  to "c:\Progra~1\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\"

Also mptopdf will not work unless you set the TEXSYSTEM environment  
variable to "miktex" as on ContextGarden.

Also it occurs to me that texexec will not recognise test.txt, but  
will expect test and add .tex itself.

Don't forget to update fndb at every opportunity from MikTeX's  
management app.
