Windows Api Error 87 The Parameter Is Incorrect

I improved the title a little to make it more descriptive. This will help people with the same issue to find it. I hope you don't mind. –Martin Scharrer♦ Apr 13 '12 at 17:38 2 This seems to be an issue with your MikTeX installation rather with PGF/TikZ. Make sure that the output PDF is not already open, e.g. from an earlier compilation run. The Access is denied might be caused by that. Did you tried to reboot and try it again? Under Windows this is always good advice. –Martin Scharrer♦ Apr 13 '12 at 17:41 2 After looking at docs.miktex.org/manual/initexmf.html, I think this might be because of Windows restrictions. Try to run MikTeX package manager and update the DB, at best using admin rights. Alternative try the initexmf --admin --update-fndb in the console as mentioned in the link. –Martin Scharrer♦ Apr 13 '12 at 17:43 add a comment| 11 Answers 11 active oldest votes up vote 27 down vote You have to give yourself the permissions to read and write in MiKTeX 2.9 folder.

Does that help? –doncherry Apr 8 '13 at 19:08 Thank you, it finally worked. Apparantly for some strange reason my program files not only contain a MiKTeX 2.9 folder but also a MiKTeX 2.9_2 and a MiKTeX 2.9_3 folder, and I also needed to change the security settings for the last two of them to make the update succeed. –Wouter Apr 8 '13 at 20:47 @Wouter Glad it works

For example, if you have the output file open in the Adobe Acrobat Reader, LaTeX cannot write on it because the reader blocks it, similarly having the .log file open in an editor may block it. So you could do one of the following: Stop compilation, if there's one running, and close viewer programs, specifically if you have the .log file open in an editor Use the Windows task manager to locate process which may use it and kill them (editor, viewer, texify, ...) Reboot your computer, which closes all programs and removes the file locks Use other programs which don't block files The first solutions are quick, the third one is clean, the last one an option for the future. share|improve this answer answered Feb 19 '13 at 12:16 Stefan Kottwitz♦ 143k49480676 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy polic
reporting technology introduced by Microsoft with WindowsXP[1] and included in later Windows versions and Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0. Not to be confused with the Dr. Watson debugging tool which left the memory dump on the user's local machine, Windows Error Reporting collects and offers to send post-error debug information (a memory dump) using the Internet to the Microsoft or stops responding on a user's desktop. No data is sent without the user's consent.[2] When a dump (or other error signature information) reaches the Microsoft server, it is analyzed and a solution is sent back to the user when one is available. Solutions are served using Windows Error Reporting Responses. Windows Error Reporting runs as a Windows service and can optionally be entirely disabled. If Windows Error Reporting itself crashes, then an error report that the original crashed process produced cannot be sent at all. Kinshuman is the original designer of Windows Error Reporting in Vista which is the same design and implementation that is present in current Windows versions.

Most importantly a new set of public APIs have been created for reporting failures other than application crashes and hangs.[4] Developers can create custom reports and customize the reporting user interface. The new APIs are documented in MSDN. The architecture of Windows Error Reporting has been revamped with a focus on reliability and user experience. WER can now report errors even when the process is in a very bad state for example if the process has encountered stack exhaustions, PEB/TEB corruptions, heap corruptions, etc. In earlier OSs prior to WindowsVista, the process usually terminated silently without generating an error report in these conditions.
