I am currently trying to generate PDFs with miktex-pdflatex (using system call "texify") when miktex portable is located under C:\Program Files. The document generation fails without any specific error message. Texify call from Windows Command Line: texify -b -c -l latex -p -q "mydocument.tex" I noticed that in this case the log folder ".. \texmfs\data\miktex\log" that usually contains some log files is not created during the intended PDF generation and also the log files it should contain (pdflatex.log and texify.log) are missing. When I call the texify command from a command line started with admin rights this works fine so I guess this is a problem with file permissions in the C:\Program Files directory. Now my questions: · Is it possible to put miktex into the C:\Program Files directory and generate documents via texify WITHOUT admin rights? · Is it possible to change the target location of those internal miktex log files (pdflatex.log, texify.log, etc.) to a folder outside the miktex installation (where no admin rights are required)? As far as I could see this is the only location where files are modified inside the miktex installation during the document generation and writing them to somewhere else could possibly solve the issue.
