Hi --
Never seen this error before (in the *many* years I've been using
MikTex). When I try to check for updates, I get an error message that
"The package definition file could not be parsed".
The 'data' in the window in the error popup points at a .tpm file
Data: path="C:\Users\ec123\AppData\Local\Temp\mik10113\cellprops.tpm",
column="1124", line="2"
I can successfully rebuild the package DB, and rebuild formats, etc,
but checking for updates always throws this error (doesn't matter which
repo I try).
My guess is that something in AppData got corrupted, somehow. I
routinely backup the local folder I install MikTeX into, but not the
AppData (meaning, I can't simply role back to an earlier state of the
installation).
Suggestions? [Other than the Draconian one of 'fresh install' ;-]
Thanks in advance...
