Highlights
MiKTeX Setup Wizard now has built-in download functionality: all required packages will be downloaded by the wizard.
Introducing package management: packages (i.e. macro packages, fonts, …) can be installed subsequently with the help of MO (MiKTeX Options).
The new update wizard makes it easy to update installed packages.
MO (MiKTeX Options) has a new property page, which allows a user to install new packages from the Internet. Likewise, it is possible to remove installed packages.
The new MiKTeX Update Wizard searches the Internet for updated MiKTeX packages and installs them on demand.
Support for shared network installation has been improved. See the MiKTeX Manual, for more information.
Microsoft's Visual C++ run-time components (mfc42.dll, …) will no longer be installed. These components are already integrated into Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Users of older Windows versions can run vcredist.exe, a self-extracting executable that installs the latest version of the Microsoft Visual C++ run-time files and operating system components. vcredist.exe can be downloaded from the MiKTeX Download Page .
