Conversion Tools ⇒ Build project error

[stephanie01]

Hi,
I have just installed MikTek 2.8 in my new computer with Windows 7, and Adobe Reader 9.5. When I try to compile the project and view the output I get the error "Cannot execute command". I read that other people had the same problem, but I can't find any solution. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Hi Stephanie,

welcome to the board!

As you said, this is a common error message, I have seen it often here in the forum. Have a look, for example, at

• TeXnicCenter "cannot execute the command"
• TeXnicCenter: DocOpen("%bm.pdf")Cannot execute the command
• Adobe Reader 10 and viewing error
• Adobe 10 - Takes Two Attempts to open any Files
• Texniccenter + Adobe Reader 9 Problem
• Acrobat DDE commands for Latex=>PS=>PDF profile
• Error while opening a created pdf-file
• Cannot output to PDF!
• why Texniccenter does not work
• Can't generate pdf file
• No PDF Output

All (and more) deal with exactly this error message. Depending on the problem information given, some have been solved.

Thanks Stefan, I couldn't find any solution yet, apparently there are files the program is not finding... I attach a screenshot with errors I get. Thanks

This screenshot is useless. Details are difficult to spot. Post the corresponding log file (*.log) as attachment (or the relevant error messages).

And if a screenshot is needed, don't put it into a PDF file. Image files in several formats can be uploaded very easy.

How do I get the log file? I also now see that "GUI framework cannot be initialized" . Does this help?
Thanks

How do I get the log file? […]

The log file is located in the working directory (with the suffix *.log).
