pdflatex: no output

Post by crusoe »

Hello all,
I'm using Latex in connection with TeXnicCenter only for a few days now. But today I tried for the first time to use it on my personal computer at home. I try to use MiKTeX 2.8 and TeXnicCenter 1.0 StableRC1.
But when I try to output my file as a PDF (same problem occurs for DVI and PS) I always get the following error:

...
entering extend mode:
! I can't find file `Files'.
<*> Files
"Adress of pdflatex.exe" "Adress of my document"
Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> Files
"Adress of pdflatex.exe" "Adress of my document"
! ==> Fatal error occured, no output file produced!


In the log-file following is written:
...
entering extended mode
**Files "Adress of pdflatex.exe" "Adress of my document"
! Emergency stop.
<*> Files
"Adress of pdflatex.exe" "Adress of my document"
*** (job aborted, file error in nonstop mode)


I think the program is searching for a file called `Files'. But I don't get it why cause my document is named 'test.tex'.
Btw it can't be a problem of my code because my code is only the following:

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

Would be really great if you could help me to solve that problem.
Greetings

Source code has to be formatted by using the code environment of the forum (see Board Rules). This keeps a post clear and legible.

Submit the complete original log file produced by your small sample document from above as attachment to your next post. Try to compile on the command line to narrow down the problem.


Best regards and welcome to the board

I'm sorry for the mistakes I made above, next time I won't do this again.
Anyway today I solved my problem, even if I don't know exactly what was the problem. I assume that it was my firewall programm which produced the fault. I stopped the sandbox (I use Comodo Security Firewall) and now it works without any problems.
So if somebody has the same problem try this. Maybe the firewall blocked TeXnicCenter from downloading some updates or packages.
