Re: Package installation error (hr=1)

Hey,

I think it was an issue with the server. I just changed the mirror to another location and now it works fine.

Thanks a lot for the simple and effective suggestion :D

Re: Package installation error (hr=1)

Really... GO away with time....??? Is that it? Is there another plausible explanation? It hasn't gone away in 3 weeks for me.

Re: Package installation error (hr=1)

Is the problem that simple that no one has bothered answering?

Or is it too complicated to answer?

Unfortunately, I tried googling as well but did not get any effective results.

Can anyone please help me with this? Appreciate your help.

Regards

Steve

Scientific Workplace V5.5 discounts for students

This might be an unusual request but I still thought its worth asking. I am looking for a good deal on Scientific Work Place V 5.5. I already have the V 3.5. I wanted to buy the new version but the cheapest it gets (even for students ) is $260 (compared to $30 for WinEdt).
Does anyone know of any ...

Where/how do I install my LateX Packages?

Thank you so much for your help.


I use Miktex, it's fairly common and I haven't ever had any reason to look into another one.

To fix your problem, go to the start menu -> miktex -> package manager (from memory for Miktex 2.7 or maintenance -> package manager if you are using miktex 2.8) and ...

Re: Where/how do I install my LateX Packages?

I'm using MikTex.

Btw, is there any other compiler which you would recommend? Which might be better/easier to deal with?

Thanks

Where/how do I install my LateX Packages?

Hi,

I've been googling this for a while and after not good any results, I finally decided to post here. I am currently using WinEdt to edit my LateX Documents. I'm trying to compile one of the LateX documents but it tells me I'm missing some packages ("fullpage.sty" in this case).
