'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?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

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