I can't find the format file `pdfetex.fmt'!
Hello, I just got the new DVD, TeX Collection 2005, tried to run cdemo.bat and to compile one of the sample documents, but: pdfetex: unrecognized option `--alias=context' pdfetex: unrecognized option `--undump=cont-en' TeXExec | runtime: 3.315
Exit code: 0
---------------------------------------------------------------- texexec --make --all cannot be executed since the CD is not writable. Can this be overcome anyhow, is there a problem specific to my PC or is this distribution on DVD unusable as such? (I often have similar "format missing" problems when I update MikTeX but then the problem disappers when I reboot the computer - not that I understand why since I refresh the database and remake all the formats each time anyway.) Thank you, Mojca
