After doing an update of MiKTeX all my latex documents don't work anymore!
I also get strange results with this minimal example:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}
running this from a existing path of a not working LaTeX project I get this error:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99996 (MiKTeX 2.9.6210 64-bit)
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `Minimal.tex'.
<*> Minimal.tex
If I run it from a new path it works fine.
If I then copy the files of an existing LaTeX project into this new path, I get the error again.
If I copy any not working LaTeX project from the server to my local disk it works!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
PS: the server is a local network (at work). Here is an example:
Command Line: xelatex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --include-directory="\\SERVER\Laufend\LAUFENDE PROJEKTE\2015\15-025 B-Plan Strausberg Garzauer Straße 55\Bericht_Nachtrag_II" --synctex=-1 "Minimal.tex"
Startup Folder: \\SERVER\Laufend\LAUFENDE PROJEKTE\2015\15-025 B-Plan Strausberg Garzauer Straße 55\Bericht_Nachtrag_II\TeXAux
If I copy the project to a local directory everything works fine.
Command Line: xelatex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --include-directory="C:\Users\micha.KSZ\Documents\LATEX\Bericht_Nachtrag_II" --synctex=-1 "Minimal.tex"
Startup Folder: C:\Users\micha.KSZ\Documents\LATEX\Bericht_Nachtrag_II\TeXAux
But it's not the server path in general that does not work! The minimal example runs for instance fine from here:
Command Line: xelatex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --synctex=-1 "Minimal.tex"
Startup Folder: \\SERVER\Laufend\LAUFENDE PROJEKTE\2015\15-025 B-Plan Strausberg Garzauer Straße 55\Test
PPS: now it gets interesting. If I create a network drive it works also.
Command Line: xelatex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --include-directory="L:\LAUFENDE PROJEKTE\2015\15-025 B-Plan Strausberg Garzauer Straße 55\Bericht_Nachtrag_II" --synctex=-1 "Bericht_B-Plan_Garzauer_Str.tex"
Startup Folder: L:\LAUFENDE PROJEKTE\2015\15-025 B-Plan Strausberg Garzauer Straße 55\Bericht_Nachtrag_II\TeXAux

I don't think this has something to do with your MiKTeX update...
The fact is that you are using redirection of auxiliary files to the directory TeXAux in WinEdt, and this doesn't work with UNC paths (like
\\SERVER
).That's the reason why all your examples don't fail but the first one.
Excerpt from the latest WinEdt documentation:
If you want it to work simply delete the directory TeXAux in the path
or create a network drive (as you did already) from which you can launch XeLaTeX.
