You need from CTAN the miktex package(s) you want to install (e.g. systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/symbol.cab and the two miktex databases: systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/miktex-zzdb1-2.9.tar.lzma systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/miktex-zzdb2-2.9.tar.lzma Put the everything in an empty folder (outside from miktex) and then use this folder as "local repository" in the package manager. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
