MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ MikTeX Configuration issue

[yogshog]

Hi.

The college at which I work has roaming profiles of limited size for Faculty & students, and the Faculty have office machines onto which we can install software that we need. I have MikTeX installed on my office machine. I have it configured so that when MikTeX needs a package, it automatically downloads it. I assumed it would download it somewhere in C:\Program Files\MikTeX 2.9, where I have MikTeX installed. Instead it puts it in "Application Data" which, unfortunately, automatically gets thrown into my profile. The one with limited space.

I can't find the settings in MikTeX's configuration about were to put downloaded packages. Is that configurable? Or is my only option a complete install? If so, is there a way to do that from the installer after you've already done a limited install?

Thanks,

Jon

If that folder is located on the machine's OS partition, say

Code: Select all

C:\Users\userABC\AppData\Roaming\etc...\etc...

, this folder is your local TeXMF. AFAIK, one has to have it.

I can't answer the other questions.
