I tried to run ACM template (sample-sigconf.tex) on freshly installed MiKTeX, but I got this error message:
Error : could not start the command : "C:Program FilesMiKTeX
2.9miktexbinx64pdflatex.exe" -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "sample-sigconf".tex
Have anyone got the same experience and would like to suggest the solution?
Thank you very much

That is a complex sample & using MiKTeX you may have other hiccups later but that is not initial problem. your 1st problem is the commands such as pdfLaTeX.exe are not seen by default on your system you need to add miktexbinx64 to the system path so at a command prompt (by running cmd) enter the following> setx path "C:Program FilesMiKTeX2.9miktexbinx64;%path%" (NOTE setx permanently adds this to system path but will not act straight away, you must log out and in again) the double quotes because you have a space in program files & you need a semicolon before first percent sign

Hello, thank you very much for your answer. I wonder if you could suggest me a tex software to use in order to avoid "other hiccups later". I am a complete beginner in Latex but I am required to write a paper with ACM sigconf latex template.

MiKTeX does the job & the learning curve with any tex system is similarly steep, It can take a while to get used to bumps along the way. If your system is stable MiKTeX with built in TeXworks will compile that file and you should see the images nicely. But I suggest a small sample to test functionality here is one without graphics to start cs.technion.ac.il/~yogi/Courses/CS-Scientific-Writing/examples/… look for all.zip at bottom of page. extract to a folder. As its already compiled, opening tex source should automatically show pdf. rename tex and try to compile anew

Thank you very much for the great source. It helps me to better understand the ACM sigconf template.

If you are confident to tackle the ACM sigconf the latest submission page with some extra help notes and user guide is here acm.org/publications/authors/submissions also there is the "quick and dirty guide " here buildsys.acm.org/2017/resources/documents/HowTo.pdf
