On my new machine I have just downloaded and installed the new version
of ProTeXt and have
been following the directions given in "The Quickest Way to a TeX
System". On page 9 section 1.5.4
there are remarks about adding an already present Local TEXMF tree
(normally in C:\localtexmf) to the
MikTeX search path using the Roots tab.
Well, beginning with MiKTeX 2.7 C:\localtexmf isn't a standard Local
TEXMF tree anymore. You can see the current settings, by...
I am a little confused. My questions are:
1. In the Roots screen, do I want to click yes on the button to show the
maintained root directories?
... clicking on the checkbox to show you the maintained root
directories. (defaults are C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8 and C:\Documents
and Settings\...)
2. I can't find C:\localtexmf, but there is already a folder C:Local Tex
Files which has an existing
localtexmf-like structure. Is the latter folder a synonym or a
replacement for the former folder?
I'm afraid its none of it. C:\Local Tex doesn't come with MiKTeX. Are
you sure its coming from a different/older TeX-installation on your machine?
Is there some possible naming conflict?
It depends how you order your Local TEXMF Path inside the list of
registrated root directories. Files are searched, concerning to the
list, from top to bottom.
