Yes, open-source hell.

Subject: Re: [MiKTeX] Unable to build MiKTeX

Aha, you're right!  It turns out that "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin" has its own Qt DLLs that interfere with the DLLs that "miktex-texworks.exe" uses, so "C:\Qt\Qt5.8.0\5.8\msvc2015_64\bin" needs to go before it in the PATH (or you need to remove the CMake directory from the PATH) when running the built programs that require the Qt DLLs.  Doing this, then "miktex-texworks" can run without the DLLs being in the folder with it.

Is there a "minimum set" of CTAN libraries that's needed for MiKTeX?  Is there a list of these somewhere?

So the "Basic MiKTeX Installer" is not open-sourced like the rest of the project??

Thanks.
