Cannot load dvipng

Post by mgoldman525 »

I am trying to use Iguanatex, but the program cannot access dvipng. According to the MikTeX package manager, mixtex-dvipng-bin-2.9 has been installed and I see dvipng.exe in the MikTeX installation directory.

However, when I try to compile a simple document in WinEdt, I get the error " File 'dvipng.sty' not found." MikTeX does not try to install the package, ostensibly because it has already been installed.

Could anyone please help me get dvipng (and, by extension, Iguanatex) working?

Thanks!

When I try running dvipng.exe, I get an error message telling me that MiKTeX208-app.dll is missing. Is dvipng not compatible with the latest version of MikTeX?
