[Tex/LaTex] TeXLive 2011 does not update local directories

texlive

I am using TL 2011 with Windows XP. I have placed some custom files here:

C:\texlive\2011\texmf-local\tex\latex

and then I updated the filename database from the TeXLive Manager. Everything is reported fine:

Loading local TeX Live Database

Running mktexlsr, this may take some time ...
mktexlsr: Updating C:/texlive/2011/texmf-config/ls-R...

mktexlsr: Updating C:/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updated C:/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/ls-R.
mktexlsr: Done.

But TeXLive 2011 still cannot find my custom files in the folder:

C:\texlive\2011\texmf-local\tex\latex

Note: I didn't have the problem with TexLive 2010.

Any suggestions?

Best Answer

It should be

C:\texlive\texmf-local\tex\latex

Do not move the folder unless you modify the texmf.cnf.
