Hi

Great to see this making a beta as portable versions are so incredibly useful. I use NoteTabPro as my writing environment with TexLips scripts to automate running MiKTeX. Running this on Windows XP SP3, the cmd file worked fine, however when I tried using pdflatex on a tex file it crashed with the last line shown loading a4wide.sty.

Is there a method to feedback problems with the exact information you would like?

Many thanks

mike

You can either post the problem to the mailing list or (maybe a better option) write a bug report: sourceforge.net/.../

The miktex bin directory is added to PATH only when a command prompt is launched. Why do not add this when the miktex-portable.cmd is started ? (it may be usefull for using tex editors like texmaker)
