Hi all

I have a problem compiling my tex document.
I'm getting three errors all concerning some "pppdftex.def file"
Im not quite sure what that is.

It seems that it is involving some tex package.

TeXnicCenter downloads the file, but won't install it.
It says that I have a "Windows API error 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

What can the problem be about? I have tried google, but no hits seems to be helpful..

Thanks
/Danny

Hi Danny,

pppdftex.def belongs to the pdfpages package. Try to install this package manually: Start/ MiKTeX/ Browse Packages.

pppdftex.def is part of the pdfpages package.

try re-installing pdfpages (the file is certainly in miktex's database,
as i see it on ctan).

Whether a package is provided by MiKTeX or not can also be checked on the MiKTeX homepage, for instance regarding pdfpages: http://miktex.org/packages/pdfpages.
