'xdvipdfmx' is not recognized as an internal or external...

Post by alihaider82 »

Hi, I am compiling a document using xelatex.

TexMakerX is the latex editor and MikTex is the tex program.

When I try to compile following message is shown:

Process started: "C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/xelatex.exe" -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "haider_v1".tex

'xdvipdfmx' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. xelatex.exe: Broken pipe

Process exited with error(s)


Any suggestions.help?

Looks like a defective MiKTeX installation to me. I'd uninstall MiKTeX and start again.
