I downloaded fptex a few days ago and installed it on a computer at work running Windows 2000. It installed without a problem. I then copied the downloaded files to my home computer running Windows ME and tried to install it there with TexSetup.exe. The first problem was that I got an error saying TL80PNG.DLL not found when running pdflatex. I copied several TL80xxx.DLL files that were missing from my home installation from the work installation. Then I got another error saying a file pdfetex.efmt (or something similar) was missing. Copied it from the work installation and then got an error saying article.cls could not be found. I found that the directory texmf\tex\latex\base was missing and manually unzipped and installed it. Then I got an error saying pdflatex could not find the tfm file for cmr12. At this point, I uninstalled latex and tried re-installing it with the generic full TexLive scheme minus the documentation and all of the tex-langxxxx options. Once again, I get the TL80PNG.DLL missing error. Needless to say, TL80PNG.DLL is missing from the log file. The only errors in the log file were Configuring package binary/bin-pdftex !!!Fail to open C:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf\pdftex\config\pdftex.cfg while copying to C:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-var\pdftex\config\pdftex.cfg (Error 2) PdfTeX configuration: selecting installed map files. !!!Failed to configure map files for binary/bin-pdftex. What's going on? Winston
