General ⇒ Problem with LaTeX => PDF

[rhinocort]

I've just been installing miktex and during instalation the same prolbem occured. In my case problem was that in start menu->all programs->miktex 2.8 I chose Maintenance->settings ... but there is also folder Maintenance(Admin)->settings ... after choosing this folder my problem disappeared

I hope, it'll hepl you.

I also had the same problem with adding new formats and using Start-MikTeX-Maintenance(admin)-Settings(admin) instead of "non-admin" version helped.

Sorry, rhinocort and buda

I am not sure I understand how you solved the issue... I have thee Maintenance(Admin) directory as well under start menu->all programs->miktex 2.8 but how can I chose it and where from?

Are you saying I have to reinstall the whole thing and while doing it I have to chose this directory instead of just Maintenance?

Ok, now you have a problem. My answer was based on the assumption that pdftex might be excluded in these settings. The error message you gave in the initial post seems to be incomplete. Create a very minimal document like this.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
  Test
\end{document}

Start a run with pdflatex and post the complete log file here as attachment by uploading it to the forum server.

Hi. I guess my problem is along similar lines. First of all I must apologise for posting as a reply to this thread however - I could not find any way of posting a new thread from the forum? Am I missing some trick or just completely blind?

Anyway, earlier today I was updating MikTex from 2.7 to 2.9. I did not uninstall 2,7 however. Anyway I then loaded up TeXnicCenter and changed the build profile so that everything was running through 2.9. But the problem now is that when I compile and open the pdf file, it just opens the files that I had earlier in the day i.e. if I make any new edits to the files, nothing changes in the pdf. This inability to write any new material is driving me crazy! Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks and once again, sorry about the post being in the wrong location.

Best,

D

In each forum there is a »New Topic« button placed right below the forum title. Or do you really think that a forum doesn't offer to open new topics? On this occasion you can first read all the important topics in the »Announcements« section.

The problem seems to be a well known issue of TeXnicCenter (TXC) with MiKTeX [1]. If that doesn't solve the problem, consider a full MiKTeX installation.
