I used the TeX Collection DVD from Sept 2008. I deleted MiKTeX from my laptop machine (loaded from the ProTeXt CD several years ago), because the pdf-based instructions
for installing MikTeX from the TeX collection DVD tell me to do so.
And I am installing the complete MikTeX. However, it already has shown
four failure messages: <br>
MiKTeX207-core.dll does not exist<br> -core-PS.dll does not exist<br> -packagemanager-PD.dll does not exist<br> -packagemanager.dll does not exist<br>I
will let the install run to completion, but I'm betting the above are
enough to have it not work, and I'll have to uninstall this and
reinstall the version for any early TeX Collection set of CDs. When I google on the error messages, I find the following, but this isn't very helpful:<br> <a href="http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2778">http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2778</a><br>
I tried looking at the MikTeX forum archive but couldn't figure out how to seach the archive. Any suggestions you have will be appreciated.<br>
