MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ MikTeX doesn't produce .aux file when compiling

[raymond7735]

Hi friends,

I just installed MikTeX 2.7 and TeXnicCenter. When I tried to compile a very simple trial .tex file into DVI and PDF, an error occurs. It says "Windows API error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.". When I look at the log, basically Latex is not generating .aux file.

Right now the path Latex=>DVI is C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin\latex.exe.

I hope that I can get some help from you. It seems to me I just missed a correct path. Thank you very much!

Hi Ray,

welcome to the board!
Was a dvi or pdf file created? Perhaps attach the log file here, we would examine it to find the cause.
