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.

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? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ MiKTeX-Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/miktex-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF
