Re: Package management

Hello Ulrike,
using the maintenance shortcuts without the (admin) extensions never
worked on my installations, if I am not in the administrator group.
The on-the-fly worked also never on my machine, until I switched my user
account into the administrative group.
Maybe my installation is broken, but Paul seems to have a similar problem.
Greetings,
Christoph

I can't believe this. In a multiuser installation miktex creates a
UserInstall root in the profile of the user which is used by the
on-the-fly installation. I never heard that on-the-fly  or the update of
packages installed on-the-fly failed if the users don't have admin rights.


And when on-the-fly works for normal users why should it not be possible
to install packages in UserInstall manually with non-admin version of the
tools?
