Hi
I installed the regular version of MikTeX 2.5 (not the full), but sometimes use packages that are not included in this installation. How can I configure TeXnicCenter to automatically install the package from a local repository? I have the entire MikTeX installation folder saved on an external hard drive that is only sometimes connected to my laptop.
Thanks in advance
Ciao

Hi Frank!
Sorry, but this is not a TexnicCenter issue...
...but You you can switch this option in the MiKTeX
installation:
Programs => MiKTeX => MiKTeX Settings => General
Hope this helps!

Hi Kris
I see you are right about this being in the wrong thread, I appologise. When I try follow your instructions, I keep getting an error informing me that there is "No local package repository configured".
When I enter the MiKTeX Package Manager I can see the package I am trying to get and when I try install it, I get the same error again.
When I then try to change the package repository, same issue. I have decided to reinstall, that may end up saving me time.
Thanks for your help.

Auto-installing new packages
Hi Frank,
okay - now I see the whole picture
There is a possibility to change the Package repository type (internet, local folder or CD/DVD)
in the MiKTeX-settings (unfortunately this is not working in the package manager):
Programs => MiKTex => Settings => Packages => Package repository (change)
Here You can adjust the path to Your local directory...then automatic package installation should work again!
Greetings again

Re: Auto-installing new packages
Hey Kris
Ah, I wish I had figured that out before I reinstalled MiKTeX
I just lost patience in the end. Now I know what to do the next time round, because it is bound to happen again if I do not always keep my external hard drive attached while working in LaTeX.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated...
