Re: help needed... I'm getting crazy.

Hi Max,
I think the problem is that the MikTex Installer downloads files during
installation and try to store them somewhere.
Here 2 possible thinks you should test:
1.) Start the installation file from a directory where you have normal write
permissions (e.g. your Home folder or the desktop)
2.) You should start the Installer with right click "as adiministrator".

I do not think that your anti virus program is the reason for the problems.
Let us know, if that helped.
Regards,
Christoph

I can't see anylight at the end of the tunnel... I've googled around all
night (it's 4:38 here) but the trouble persists, everyone says to turn off
antivirus and I DID, really, but I'm always getting the same problems...
I've ran the installation as administrator, as every kind of compatibility
with older win version.... nothing. win's bugged A LOT. permissions are
awful.

is there anyone whitout that antivirus who installed miktex on his/her
machine?

Thanks,
Max
