A newbie question: I am working with a Latex document. Although I can use Bibtex-Latex to generate the document, I am unable to use Texify to achieve the same result. A Texify run gives me the following error: TEXIFY: cannot create temp folder Tool completed with exit code 1 This message resulted from an earlier attempt to Texify a document containing minor errors. Though the errors have been resolved, neither this document nor any others will run on Texify - the same error occurs. Any comments? ===== David J.

Texify reads TMP and creates a temporary folder %TMP%\mcd????.tmp where it stores aux/tof/tol type files. To check, open a command prompt and type > ECHO %TEMP% %TMP% (To open a command prompt go to Start/Run and type CMD or COMMAND) Do you like what you see? Do those directories exist? Try changing TMP (temporarily) to something that you know will work: > SET TMP=c:\ and run texify (in this command prompt window). If that fixed the problem you need to change (permanently) TEMP/TMP or the permissions of the directory where they point. If you don't know how to do this, email me AND TELL ME WHICH WINDOWS OS YOU'RE USING and I'll go through it. \kkd -- ca...@fa... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own |
