on-the-fly installation

There's been a report at

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/

that MikTeX invokes on-the-fly installation for a font-mapping file
(musix.map) that has already been installed in a personal texmf tree.

The installation scripting that involves musix.map is as follows:

  xcopy %MIKTEXDIR%\dvips\config\config.ps "%ROOT%"\dvips\config\
  echo copy config.ps to ROOT >> %LOG%
  xcopy %MUSIXTEXDIR%\dvips\musix.map "%ROOT%"\dvips\config\
  echo copy musix.map to ROOT (dvips) >> %LOG%
  echo p +musix.map >> "%ROOT%"\dvips\config\config.ps
  echo add line "f +musix.map" to config.ps file >> %LOG%

The user is supposed to have added %ROOT% to the MikTeX-managed
set of texmf trees and updated the FNDB.

Is this caused by an installation-script bug or a MiKTeX bug?

Bob T.

P.S. I'm well aware that by a simple click in the package manager a user
can have MiKTeX install a complete and up-to-date musixtex package; but
the user involved is not me.
