The http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/setup/windows-x86/miktex-portable-{{ version }}.exe URL used in the recipe doesn't exist anymore (for version 2.9.6753 or any other version), and I couldn't find a mirror/archived version elsewhere, so the recipe can't be built from it anymore.

According to the MiKTeX site, MiKTeX Portable was discontinued, but the basic installer may be used, renaming it to miktex-portable.exe or with the --portable flag.

Turn into proper portable installation
3a1a1d7 
Previously the build did
  "Change the install variant to a regular one, so that latex packages
   installed by the user go into the users home directory..."
which
  1. does not seem to work anymore
     (lead to segfault in "MiKTex230500-logcxx.dll")
  2. apparently caused issues for parallel installtions (conda-forgegh-19, conda-forgegh-22),
so this just changes the package to be self contained in the Conda env.
