MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ Old Documents not compilable after Update

[ojones]

Hi All,

I recently updated to MikTeX 2.9. Now my files, which rendered OK with MikTeX 2.7, no longer do so. I'm having trouble with files using the packages PSTricks or TikZ. I edit with WinEdt by the way. Is there a simple fix for this? Thanks.

Hi,
if you post a minimal code which creates your drawbacks, I may replicate it with my MikTex 2.9 installation.

Also, the .log file could be helpful, which you could post as attachment. It contains error messages and warnings, which can help in fixing. Better than just "I'm having trouble".

It could simply be a missing package, for example, or after the update a package might work somehow differently.

I'm having problems with all my files and so don't see the point of posting specific code. There's obviously something wrong at a general level. Case in point: I uninstalled MikTeX 2.9 and installed MikTeX 2.8. All files are now compiling and rendering correctly.

I noticed that the YAP for 2.8 is different to that for 2.9. Maybe this is the problem. I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this problem and I'm surprised this is not a known issue.

In that case, the .log file would be useful.

I no longer have 2.9 installed and so can't provide a .log file. Anyway, 2.8 is working fine and so will postpone upgrading to 2.9 until I have to. Hopefully by then all issues will have been resolved.
