Of course it should. Normally the Reader should act like described in the following: The first time you click on one of the "PDF install messages" it should produce a warning, that you're going to open an external program or script. Afterwards you can accept or deny the execution (you should choose "Open" doing this). What i don't know exactly is what happens in case you've denied the opening of external scripts once, and having choosed the option, that you don't want to be bothered with that prompt anymore. Maybe your problems result from something like this? > is there something else we should be doing????? In case everything fails, you can come along with this, by installing MiKTeX manually. Coming from the root directory of the TeXLive DVD you'll find the corresponding installation procedures in the subdirectores: MiKTeX: \protext\MiKTeX\setup TeXnicCenter: \protext\TeXnicCenter Ghostscript/GSview: \protext\gsv Good luck - Thomas _______________________________________________ protext mailing list http://tug.org/protext/
