TeXstudio does not find MiKTeX












2















How do I make TeXstudio find the MiKTeX file?



I downloaded the MiKTeX distribution first and then TeXstudio and put them in the same folder.



I have tried reinstalling TeXstudio and I have tried deleting the .ini file but neither works...

  • Welcome to TeX SX! Did you install TeX Studio before MiKTeX? Also, certainly do not install TeX Studio in MiKTeX directory

  • That should be no problem. Check if you can launch latex from the command line. Maybe the installation of MiKTeX was defective.

I faced the same problem. I solved the problem this way:




Options > Configure TeXstudio... > Commands > LaTeX




The LaTeX-commands can be found in a sub-folder of the MiKTeX installation folder.



First time, I tried: "C:/Program Files/LaTeX/MiKTeX 2.9/tex/latex/imakeidx.sty"



After a reboot of TeXstudio, it was able to find most of the other commands too.



Then I realized that this line should actually be pointed to the bin file.



For me that was "C:/Program Files/LaTeX/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/x64/latex.exe".



It doesn't work perfect yet, but at least it is now able to read and compile something. I hope this helps you too.

    Close TeXStudio. In Windows Explorer navigate to some folder like:
    C:UsersYOUR_ACCOUNT_NAMEAppDataRoamingtexstudio



    Delete texstudio.ini file.



    Restart TeXStudio.



    This fixed it for me.

    and in another option put for default

    • You should NOT need to put c:ifjfjfaf[iaf yap.exe blah blah That tells me other commands will fail IT SHOULD BE yap.exe -1 -s @?"c:ame "?am.dvi"' and if your path is configured correctly it WILL WORK
