Christopher Faylor writes: > Jan, can you provide any insight here? What happened here is that the latex FMT file was somehow produced by plain tex, not by pdfetex. In tetex-2.x, latex was a symlink to tex, whereas in 3.0 it is a symlink to pdfetex. The FMT files are produced by running texconfig-sys init, which is run during postinstall. The latex-pdfetex version chokes on the invalid FMT file, so that file must be regenerated. The most common problems have to do with file permissions or manually edited config files. Easiest is to rerun setup.exe and reinstall the tetex-base package and see if that works. Otherwise, remove the latex.fmt file (`kpsewhich latex.fmt' prints the full file name). Run `texconfig-sys init' to generate the latex.fmt file. I'd be interested to learn what exactly did not work, or what fixed it.
