Hello,

today, my students were facing a bug on Windows 7 that, unfortunately I can't reproduce (I've no Windows machine). With TmX 2.0, ps2pdf compilation fails with a cryptic message about GhostScript (version 8.49 if I'm right). I'm sorry to be so imprecise...

Cheers.

    do you use an extra ghostscript installation ?
    Miktex brings all necessary ghostscript with it and it works fine here (Miktex 2.9, Vista)

    okay, i have played around a bit:

    1) if you use the miktex commands ps2pdf, everything should work out of the box,
    Usually miktex\bin is set in the search path, so tmx just needs to be set to "ps2pdf %ps"

    2) if explicitly gs is used, the search path needs to include "gswin32c" executable.
    At least here, this was not done automatically during the install !

    So, imho this problem is not directly tmx related
