MiKTeX and proTeXt

A late reply, we all need rest. I hope you got some rest as well and can take a fresh start.

You said, that your machine does not have a connection to the internet, so we did not recomend to use the install script. We told you to download the iso-image. Stefan said to burn this to a dvd, i told you you can put it on a usb-stick and mount it with your machine.

That is all you need to do. Please read up on ISO (or DVD) installations.

What are the licenses of TeX Live and WinCDEmu like.

Do the licenses of Tex Live and the free ISO-mounting tool WinCDEmu at http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/ allow me to freely use them to do software development work, please explain.

Thank you,

I can link the TeX Live license i found by using google.

The WinCDEmu-page states that the license is LGPL.

Sure, that website says: "WinCDEmu is free for any kind of use". And you can use TeX Live for other work freely. Using is free. There are rules to protect themselves, similar to "don't change the code of a TeX package and distribute it with the same name". But for developing other things, there's no problem.

I can't thank you enough Johannes_B and Stefan_K.

I've installed texlive2014.iso to my V drive using WinCDEmu. But, what do I do next?

I still can't use any commands such as "latex" and "pdflatex" in the command prompt window. Also, search does not find them on the V drive!

What other hoops do I have to jump through.

Thank you,

You need to install it. It seems you only "installed" (mounted) the installation media. Just have a look the the links in one of my previous posts regarding the installation. You need to start an install program on your V drive.

You're a genius Sefan_K. I found the installation batch file on the mounted drive. I ran it on that drive with:

install-tl-windows.bat --gui=wizard

It's running, so all looks good, so far!
Thanks,
