General ⇒ Error while building for the first time

[simondel]

Hello everyone,

First off all, nice forum. I've already found a lot of stuff on it but i still have a problem while building my first file.

I installed TexnicCenter 1.0
I installed MikTex 2.8

I linked Miktex & TexnicCenter via

Alt + F7 in Texniccenter
In the tab (La)Tex I unchecked 'do not Use Bibtex' and 'do not use MakeIndex'.
In the tab viewer i put the following things:


Path of executable:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\ADOBE\READER 9.0\READER\ACRORD32.EXE

View project's output:
I checked DDE command and put in the command line: [DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")]

Forward Searched:
Same thing with DDE and I put
[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")]

Close document before running latex:
Same thing with DDE and I put
[DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocOpen("%bm.pdf")][DocClose("%bm.pdf")]


That's my output lines with the error message:

TXCerror.png (50.15 KiB) Viewed 3393 times

Someone has any idea?

Kind regards!

This happens to me from time to time. Whenever it's happened to me, one of the following worked:

1) Make sure the paths to MiKTeX and your pdf viewer are correct.
2) Do something silly like restarting your computer.

I know this advice looks dumb right now, but just try it.

Yes, the paths are often the things which haven't been set up properly.
