MiKTeX 2.8 SDK

Introduction

MiKTeX 2.8 exports two COM objects that make it possible to script MiKTeX:

• The MiKTeX session object provides an interface to MiKTeX core functionality. The interface can be used to search for files, gather information about the MiKTeX 2.8 installation and to run MiKTeX 2.8 applications.
• The MiKTeX package manager object provides an interface to the MiKTeX package manager. The interface can be used to install/remove packages and to retrieve informataion about packages.
