Re: Portable edition: Hard dependency on c:\MiKTeX-Portable

Hi Oliver,

You extracted it in the S:\MiKTeX-Portable folder, right?

Looks like the extraction process does not correctly automated the
miktex-portable.cmd file "knowing" which drive it's only currently.  C: is
hard coded.  (not really sure if this is a bug or not...)

Simple fix!  Open miktex-portable.cmd with Notepad, Wordpad, or your
favorite text editor.  There's only two lines in the file.  Change C: to S:
in your case.  Try running it again!

I just downloaded it and tried this process on my G: drive and it
successfully started running.

Best,
Chris
