Hello,
I have both TexLive and MikTeX on my Windows Vista machine, when i type "pdflatex name.tex" in CMD it runs MiKTeX, but I want it to run TeXlive. How to do that?
I hope it's okay that the question goes in this category, as I could not find a place for it in the Distro-category.
Best regards, Fleet

Re: Two installations
You'll have to give it the full path name. For example, if your MikTeX distribution's executable is at "C:\Program Files\MikTeX\latex.exe" and your TeXLIVE executable is at "C:\Program Files\TexLIVE\latex.exe", then you can give that exact path to get the TeXLIVE version.
By the way, why does it matter? LaTeX and TeX should be the same, regardless of distribution. The packages may be different, but you can fix that by downloading them.

If you want TeX Live to work properly, you have make sure that it is found on the path before MiKTeX binaries. This is normally taken care of by the installer (if you installed TL after MiKTeX). Otherwise do it manually and edit user or system PATH evironment variable.
