MiKTeX encountered an internal error

Postby Ijon Tichy » Thu Nov 18, 2021 8:50 am

On MiKTeX you should always do the update twice:

Do an update in the Admin mode of the MiKTeX console.
Do an update in the User mode of the MiKTeX console.

It seems you never have done an update in admin mode.
So you should try to switch to the Admin mode of the MiKTeX console and make an update, before you try to make another update in user mode.

The file lock error can occur, if another program, e.g. an antivirus software,currently has locked one of the files of the MiKTeX installation. Sometimes waiting does help, sometimes a restart of windows is needed. Sometimes the locking process has to be deactivated. For average users it is a bit tricky to identify the locking process. For more information about windows file locking ask a windows forum.

Caveat: I’m neither a windows nor a MiKTeX expert.

Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms. :cry:

Hi!

I'm trying to repackage miktex as a conda package (which has
`<root>scripts` in path). For that I want to try to put it in a
directory structure similar to

<root>script (for bin)
<root>miktex<rest of the stuff>

Basically the idea is to put pdflatex and friends into the path and
put everything else cleanly somewhere else and user downloaded stuff
into appdata.

While investigating if that is possible (or how "near" I can get to
this structure), I ran into the following error:

```
λ miktexsetup.exe --verbose
--local-package-repository=.miktex-repository   --package-set=basic
download
[... downloads find ...]

λ miktexsetup.exe --verbose
--local-package-repository=.miktex-repository   --use-registry=no
--common-config=.miktexconfig   --common-data=.miktexdata
--common-install=.miktexinstall   --common-roots=.miktexroot
--modify-path=no   --user-config="<APPDATA>MiKTeX"
--user-data="<LOCALAPPDATA>MiKTeX"
--user-install="<APPDATA>MiKTeX"   --trace   install
initializing setup service...
miktexsetup.exe: MiKTeX encountered an internal error.
```

I tried to both the 32bit and 64bit variants available from the
download page. Other versions of the same commandline also didn't
work, even this breaks:

```
λ miktexsetup.exe install
miktexsetup.exe: MiKTeX encountered an internal error.
```

I've no clue what to try next :-( Thanks for any help!

Hi,

just FYI: I got my system working by

* Including batch files in .Skripts for every *.exe in
.Librarymiktex-dirmiktexbin which just call
`@%~dp0..Librarymiktex-dirmiktexbin<name>.exe` (lets hope that
there is no tool which explicitly calls `pdflatex.exe` instead of
`pdflatex`...)
* Changing the `miktexstartup.ini` from `Portable` to a regular one
(`[Auto]nConfig=Regular`) and setting `[PATHS]` ->
`CommonInstall=....` (and the same for `CommonData` and
`CommonConfig`). The final miktexstartup.ini looks like this:

```
[Auto]
Config=Regular

[PATHS]
CommonInstall=....
CommonData=....
CommonConfig=....
```

This file makes miktex look for already installed packages and configs
in the regular "Portable" location but installs new packages in the
user directory.

The result is now a conda package which can be installed by `conda
install -c conda-forge miktex`. If someone wants to have a look: here
is the recipe: https://github.com/conda-forge/miktex-feedstock

This package now lets you install a PDF exporting jupyter notebook
server (or an other app which uses pandoc+latex to convert to pdf) via
`conda install -c conda-forge miktex pandoc notebook nbconvert`.

Kind regards,

Jan

You could run into problem e.g. with xindy which has a quite
hardcoded path to its module. 

Why don't you use texlive which already has such a structure with
the binaries outside the texmf-tree?

Do you get an error too if you use the GUI installer?

Basically because I used miktex during the last years :-) Will
investigate texlive...

Yes, tried:

```
setup-2.9.5870-x64.exe --unattended  --dry-run  --auto-install=ask
--paper-size=A4  --portable  --no-registry  --package-set=basic
--install-from-local-repository
--local-package-repository=.miktex-repository
--user-config="<APPDATA>MiKTeX"  --user-data="<LOCALAPPDATA>MiKTeX"
--user-install="<APPDATA>MiKTeX"
```

which gives me a password dialog (??? I want a portable installation,
why do I need to auth?) and then this error:

```
---------------------------
MiKTeX Setup Wizard
---------------------------
The operation could not be completed for the following reason:

MiKTeX encountered an internal error.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
```

Perhaps you are behind some firewall/vpn/proxy/whatever (on second
thought: you are using a local repository so you don't need to be
online). Perhaps you don't have the rights to install in the
folders?

(You could also make a bug report, perhaps there is something wrong
with the installers. I hadn't to install a miktex for a long time,
so I wouldn't know).

Miktex encountered an internal error after update #113

After the last update with the Miktex Console an error occured when trying to open a file with Texstudio. The Error Text is:

After hitting ok, the automatic package installation opens with the message:

The required file miktex/config/unx/log5cxx.unx.xml is missing. It is part of the following package: miktex-config-2.9.

After hitting ok the package was not installed and the miktex internal error occured again.

I recognized that the package miktex-config-2.9 was labeled «obsolete» and erased by the last update.

As a workaround I overwrote the directory /home/wolfgang/.miktex/texmfs/install/miktex/config with a copy out of a backup and then made a refresh of the filename database and the font map files.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hello!
After the last MikTeX update the process was terminated prematurely and the distribution was a mess due to problems with the anti virus software.

Switching anti virus off, I installed MikTeX from scratch on my Windows 7 (32) machine with the latest basic MikTeX version. The installation went without any indication of problems. I compiled my LaTeX document only to realise that still there is a mismatch between biblatex and biber versions. So, once again, I started the update, which indicated that some core elements needed to be replaced. The process again went without indication of errors. So far, so good.

Once, however, I restart the update wizard in order to download the deleted files and update the others, I receive the message: «Sorry, but something went wrong: MikTeX encountered an internal error». The update.log does not give any further details, either. It does not matter whether I continue with the admin or the user version of the update, the error occurs with the same message in both.

Does anyone know how to either fix the error or circumvent it? Would specifically delete the existing and download the updated biber and biblatex file in the package manager do the trick?

Error message running arara from MikTeX 2.9

I am trying to run arara on a Windows 10 (x64) system from MikTeX 2.9 as follows in this MWE:

What I get is the following error message:

arara is installed in my system, and I have checked it is in the system’s path by issuing the «arara» command from the command line to an affiramtive response: the arara introduction message is displayed in the command line window.

Any hints to solve this issue will be welcome.

1 Answer 1

The problem has been resolved by an update. So I’m writing a more general answer:

internal error indicates a bug. And so the first step to handle this is to check if everything is up-to-date. This means check with both update managers (admin and user) for updates. If there are lot of updates open it is senseful to open the package manager (admin), synchronize and to check if they are uninstalled packages starting with miktex before actually getting the updates.

If the problem persists after the update you can make a bug report at https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues.

MikTex installation on OSX 10.14.2 (Mojave) #246

After installing MikTeX on /usr/local/bin I get the following error.

Install report from /var/log/miktex seems indicate that something is off with PathOkay but /usr/local/bin is in my path settings.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue with the given information.
You can try it again tomorrow. If the problem still exists: collect log files, screenshots etc.

Please follow the contribution guidelines when submitting an issue ticket.

I have the same problem. My os is OSX mojave. I used the admin install mode.

log4cxx: setFile(/Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/data/miktex/log/pdflatex.log,true) call failed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

I solved it (just about) temporarily using trial and error.
If you installed it via admin mode, and you’re calling LaTeX from the terminal, you have to run the command with sudo.
The problem MIGHT be linked with a bug(? not sure actually, might just be an error on my part), that causes log4cxx to improperly parse file path’s with spaces anywhere in the path (for MacOS users this is probably «Application Support» (notice the space between the words).
Also, not sure why running with sudo fixes this 😉
