Re: No output with latest Miktex 2.9

Thank you for suggesting an editor issue.
Indeed, if I compile the test file with Texworks, the missing packages are
installed. Under my new installation of my customary Winedt 9.1 I get,
e.g., for the following  test file zero pages output for pdflatex.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[english,12pt]{scrartcl}
 \usepackage{blkcntrl}
\begin{document}
Test Text
\end{document}

The  corresponding  .log file is
