TeX Live and MacTeX ⇒ TexLive 2009 "runscript.dll no such file or directory"

[cechj]

I have just install TeXLive 2009 on my new laptop running Windows 7.

The installation passed normally, however there is something wrong with it. When I try to run the TeXWorks editor or DVIout viewer, it always crashes with "runscript.dll no such file or directory"

I am an administrator on the laptot and I ran the install-tl.bat as an administrator. Pdflatex seems working.

Could anybody please help me?

Thanks,
Jan

The problem is known and should be already fixed. Perhaps it is not yet on the mirror you used for installation. The fix came with revision 17448 of texlive-scripts.win32 package.

I have same problem with RunScript.dll error.
I dont know where is problem, but I have not any texlive-scripts.win32 package instaled. (I used full install from web 17.3.2010)
There is only texlive-scripts package.
I use updated TeXLive Manager 2009, and full install before.

So if there is not texlive-scripts.win32 package, nothing could be updated ?

I use mirror: mirror.ctan.org ...

Thank You, Pavel

Manually creating of directories works fine.

hi,

I have the same problem.
I installed TeX Live today, via Internet.

I dont understand what is meant with this:

"For texworks make sure that there exists directory:
kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFCONFIG
"

Thanks in advance

As I wrote before, the problem has been already identified and fixed, but we have no control over the mirroring schedule of various CTAN nodes. So to everyone affected by this problem: either try another repository or start the command prompt and run the following code (single line) to create the required directories:

Code: Select all

for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=;" %P in ('kpsewhich -expand-var="$TEXMFCONFIG;$TEXMFVAR"') do (md "%P" & md "%Q")
