I made a big mistake, which I would now like to correct. I uninstalled MikTex and then reinstalled it to update it. Yeah, I know it's stupid, but I did it. After installing MikTex2.9, Texstudio and Texworks don't find the most basic packages anymore. This already starts with the KOMA script... I have already tried to install MikTex in a new folder. But that doesn't help. What can I do?

Thank you for your help! Arne

  • Try the portable version of MikTeX. Then Windows doesn't go looking for the files; you launch a MikTeX control panel, which operates everything from within it. –  Mar 28 '18 at 15:22
  • Did you reinstall koma-script? (it is not part of the basic installation). – Bernard Mar 28 '18 at 15:23
  • Make sure that all remnants of the old installation are removed. If you only installed the basic installation, then you need to install quite a few packages before you can use them. Not all packages are included in the basic installation. – moewe Mar 28 '18 at 15:26

    Stop doing anything like deinstalling and reinstalling. Make a survey what works and what not. Does a hello-world file which uses the class article compile? Did you check in the console which packages are installed? Can you install more? – Ulrike Fischer Mar 28 '18 at 15:39
  • I'm using chocolatey to manage upgrade of my software. You can use it too to automate updates. choco install miktex then form time to time do in command line PowerShell choco upgrade all – Mafsi Dec 09 '21 at 07:11
  • MikTeX has an update tool, but you should check if it is not updating more than you want or need. – FHZ Apr 08 '22 at 06:17

Make sure that TexStudio is using the proper path. There's an option on Options -> Commands (in advanced options) where you can set the variables in PATH.

Make sure that this matches your MikTex installation folder. Also you can change the individual commands executable too.
