Hi

I've got the same problem. Only I'm so new with all this, that I don't get this right.

I've installed LEd (build 0.526300) and did then the following things

- File > New > Templates > MSc Thesis
I've changed some things in de "front.tex"

Code: Select all

Code:
\begin{center}
    \Large
    University's name\\
ErasmusHogeschool
    Faculty's name\\
Toegepaste Informatica

\end{center}

The error is: 'latex.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.


Can someone help me?

Hi Annieken,

welcome to the board!
You already have installed an editor, but you still need the LaTeX software. I recommend to install MiKTeX. LEd works together with MiKTeX.

So the Miktex is not a editor but the distribution?
I'm downloading the software now.

Thank you!

Yes, MiKTeX is the TeX distribution needed, it works in the background, it comes without editor. There are several editors that support MiKTeX, like LEd and TeXnicCenter, another very good LaTeX editor.

Oké, thank you for the information.
I've downloaded and installed and it doesn't give any problems. But I don't get any output (except a black window - command line - with nothing on and it goes away).
The second time I run the application, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

latex.exe: Invalid MiKTeX configuration.
=============================
! LaTeX Error: File 'stmaryd.sty' not found.
Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Hi Annieken,

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: File 'stmaryd.sty' not found.

perhaps it's a small mistake: correct stmaryd inside your LaTeX document into stmaryrd.

I think it was the security of windows vista, it blocked it and always asked me to give my permission. Which I did, I changed the security settings and restarted, I compiled and when I found the PDF in the directory.

So problem is solved.

Thank you for your help!
