I am trying to set up a MiKTeX installation for Multiple Users on the same PC (OS: Windows 10), where the user installed packages get installed into a shared directory. On MiKTeX Documentation there is a description stating that the options --user-install allows specification of the installation destination for packages installed by the user.
I have tried to install in the Command Prompt as Administrator using the following:
basic-miktex-2.9.7031-x64.exe ^
--shared ^
--user-install=^<PROGRAMDATA^>\texmf
The "%PROGRAMDATA%\texmf" directory (expand to "C:\ProgramData\texmf" in Windows 10) is TDS compliant, but still after installation completion the default directory for user installed packages ends up in "%APPDATA%\MiKTeX\2.9" (this expands to "C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9" in W10). Which means that user installed packages are not shared, but that the same package will get installed multiple times (once per user).
Does anyone know how to fix this? I would expect it to be possible to have a shared location for user installed packages.
