resurrecting LaTex

Post by Marco110981 »

Hi guys,

I have been trying to re-install it, but I still have the same problem (see post "Migration Latex").
Could anybody have to good sake (or knowledge) to help me out?

Marco,

You don't provide enough information to troubleshoot your problem.

First of all, check if your MiKTeX installed properly (do not just copy old installation). Create somewhere a temporary directory, open command prompt and change to that directory. From the command line run:

Code: Select all

latex sample2e
If this compiles without errors and you get viewable sample2e.dvi it means that your MiKTeX is fine.

Next, compile your document from the command line. If you get errors then the problem is somewhere in your document and we will need to see at least your preamble to get any further. If you get no errors then the most likely source of your problems is misconfigured profile in TeXnicCenter and we will need the details of that profile in order to help you.

Cheers,

Tomek
