Error: I couldn't open file 'filename.aux'

Post by pallav »

I just update the miktex2.9. I am using Texniccenter 2.02 (sable 32 bit). I am getting an error for running any tex file. The error is I couldn't open file 'filename.aux'.



Uninstall, restart pc and reinstall Texniccenter do not help. What to do?

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

Hi pallav,

were you able to solve the problem?

Perhaps you are working in a directory without write permissions so the .aux file could not even be created.
