Re: sequence of localtexmf tree

I have no idea.  What you can do is run a simple experiment. The difference is the order of access.  The listing gives the order of access.  

1) Set up a .sty file of your own, which types out locatree or common tree.  Call it noacktest.sty

In the localtree version of noacktest.sty
\typeout{localtree}

In the common tree version of noacktest.sty
\typeout{common tree}

2) put the files into some appropriate place 

3) Refresh the fndb

4) make your test .tex file including
\usepackage{noacktest}

5) Compile and see which file is accessed

Subject: [MiKTeX] sequence of localtexmf tree

In my MikTeX installation, I have a localtexmf tree which is
not to be deleted/overwritten by MikTeX updates -- common procedure.

What I am not quite clear about is the right sequence in the
MikTeX `settings - roots' menue: what is it:

     ...\MikTeX_2.7\localtexmf
     ...\MikTeX_2.7                            install

or
     ...\MikTeX_2.7
     ...\MikTeX_2.7\localtexmf                 install   ?

And is this diffferent in MikTeX_2.7 and MikTeX_2.9  ?

Thanks for a quick answer.

ccn.
