General ⇒ No DVI output created

[Fina]

Hi there!

It's my first time using TexnicCenter, actually it's the first time I'm doing a latex file. I'm sorry about this (probably stupid) question

In TexnicCenter I clicked File-->New project-->empty project and wrote this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ngerman}
\usepackage[T1]{fontec}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
Blabla.
\end{document}

When I want to see the document there appears an error message:

Code: Select all

MikTex Problem Report

Windows API error 2: Can't find the file
C:\.....\MyFile.dvi

I don't know whether TexnicCenter or MikTex is causing the problem, or if something is missing or how to fix it...

I hope you can help me!

It is important to know which version of TeXnicCenter (TXC) you are using on which operating system (XP, Vista, 7). Try to compile your example with pdflatex (build profile »LaTeX -> PDF«) and see what happens.

Hi,

thank you for your reply!
I'm using Vista and TXC 1.0(Stable Release Candidate 1). I've also tried "build profile »LaTeX -> PDF«" but there always appears this error message:

Code: Select all

[DocOpen("%bm.pdf"][FileOpen("%bm.pdf")]

I know what went wrong!!

1. I had to install the german language support package
2. I've written

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontec}

instead of

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Now it works! Thank you anyways for your help

Love,
Fina
