Installation Problem

Post by Srcee »

Since I asked for help yesterday because of a compiling error, someone told me to uninstall MiKTeX and reinstall MiKTeX 2.9. I tried that and the installation always stops near the end, in the same place. I tried installing MiKTeX 2.8 and 2.9, but the same thing happens. I don't get any error messages, only the window which shows the installation progress stands on one place for eternity. If I try to stop it, the whole computer crashes. :( Now I can't install MiKTeX.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

MiKTeX is not the only TeX distribution. Just try TeX Live.

Try disabling your virus scanner for the time of installation.
