Really basic upgrade question

Post by norcalangel »

I'm a really new user, and don't use it that often so please bear with me. I'm still getting used to the framework in which you use latex. (I am however, *not* a novice computer user)
I use TeXnic Center to create my documents. I needed to install a package, ok fine. It said that MikTex 2.5 was no longer supported, and that I needed to upgrade. Ok, fine. Download MikTex 2.7 & install. Uninstall 2.5.

Now... how do i get Texnic center to realize that I don't want to use the 2.5 version that it's looking for in the protex/ folder?

Thanks

After you have started TeXnicCenter (TXC) press Alt+F7 and start the wizard in the lower left corner of the following dialogue window. Enter the path to the MiKTeX 2.7 executables.

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin
TXC will create new build profiles provided that all other necessary software (GSView/Ghostscript, Adobe Reader) is installed.


Best regards and welcome to the board
