Windows Minimals installer is broken -- mtxrun does not work
Hello everybody and esp. Mojca, I started updating my Windows installer code to include "--extras" switch. Unfortunately, I found that mtxrun.cmd does not exist anymore and is replaced by mtxrun.exe. Moreover, mtxrun.exe is not working at all, complaining "mtxrun: unable to locate texlua.exe on the search path", while texlua.exe is present in the same folder! Please, help me fix this issue, because installer is broken for the moment. Regards Best, Vyatcheslav

It seems to work after fixing that (replacing call mtxrun.cmd with mtxrun.exe).
Moreover, mtxrun.exe is not working at all, complaining "mtxrun: unable to locate texlua.exe on the search path", while texlua.exe is present in the same folder!
Confirmed. mtxrun.exe doesn't find texlua.exe when it's in the same folder. Hans - is there a way to fix that? Mojca

I would call that a (security) feature. If the current folder is not in the search path, it should not be possible for executables to be executed from it unless by the user him/herself. Best wishes, Taco
