Can't auto-download MikTeX package

Post by klonuo »

Hi :)
I just joined this forum as I have a problem, and out of curiosity as I started to learn LaTeX, to use it as a tool for making my thesis on paper and probably for future use

Yesterday I installed latest MikTeX and TeXnic Center on Windows XP SP3, and have problem with MikTeX auto-downloading packages feature and TeXnic Center

If I use package that's not installed by MikTeX and I use WinEdt for editing, I have no problem - MikTeX dialog pops asking to download what's missing, after which output shows fine. But with TeXnic Center, console just throws error and I can't seem to find option either in TeXnic Center, or MikTeX nor Google how to solve this

I can do it manually, but that's not what I'm after ;)

Thanks in advance

Can't auto-download MikTeX package

A well known problem [1]. Consider a to use another editor like TeXworks (shipped with MiKTeX) or do a full installation of the TeX system.

Thanks for your fast reply :)

It's good to know that it's not impossible, by making MikTeX auto-download drop-down to 'Yes' instead 'Ask me first'
And it worked :)

Cheers
