MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ location of executables

[martman]

Hello

Im trying to install TeXnicCenter and I'm stuck at trying to configure it. I need to point it to the dir with the executables(latex, tex). I've tried C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin with no luck. I cant seem to locate those executables manually either.

I did run the install twice, once to download and once to install the full distribution for all users.

Anyone know how I can get passed this?

Thanks

Actually this is the default installation path. It should be located on your system partition. Note that you have to give not only the full path but also the name of the needed executable. It seems that you first installed TeXnicCenter and MiKTeX afterwards. In this case you can create the build profiles by starting the wizard in the Build Profiles dialogue (Alt+F7). You can find the wizard in the lower left corner of this dialogue window. Perhaps other threads will help you [1,2]. In my first post there I attached three screenshots of a profiles where you can see how to set up working profiles. In case of further upcoming questions, feel free to ask.
