Hi,

I've just installed the fpTeX version I got from TL5c

I use custom installation in order to select all packages I wanted.

The installation successfully worked but when I try to LaTeX ou to TeX a
document, I get this message :

I can't find the fomat file 'latex.fmt' (resp. 'tex.fmt')

I tried to run Create missing format files, it worked but I get the same
message when I try again to use LaTeX or TeX

In addition, the files 'latex.fmt' and 'tex.fmt' do exist !

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Christophe

PS: I did nothing manually, I've just let the instal program do the whole
thing.
