I have been more generic in the way I removed those c://texmf things. There is a new : ftp://ftp.ese-metz.fr/pub/tex/win32-beta/test/kpathsea-990607.dll Please, test it as much as you can. Mostly, I'd like to be sure that it is harmless to use it : no unexpected errors. Now, if it can correct the bug it would be fine too ;-) Fabrice
