Hi,
There appears some problems with my TexniCenter.The latex distribution is MiKTeX. I follow the same steps as suggested by:
http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/LaTe ... nloads.php.
After finishing installing the software and start to compile it, the latex can compile simple program such as
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}.
But it fails to compile my other latex document. I have installed the TeXnicCenter+MiKTeX before. Due to the format of my system, I have to reconfigure it. It seems things do not go well. Here is the error output.
Couldn't find the input index file C:\PATH\NAME or C:\PATH\NAME.idx
USAGE: C:\PROGRAM FILES\MIKTEX 2.8\MIKTEX\BIN\MAKEINDEX.EXE
LATEX-RESULT: 0 ERRORS, 0 WARNINGS, 0 BAD BOX, 0 PAGES.
Any of ideas of what is wrong? Thanks.

Re: Cannot find the input tex file and compile it
The error messages means that you do not create an index file for this document, i.e. you do not use the index package (or similar package). This is not the reason why your document does not compile. There must be something else wrong. Could you could post the log file.
