I have installed the program but cannot seem to execute any of the applications (like texify). Some websites list the following method for running MikTex in XP:
"First, I prepare my computer as instructed by http://www.math.auc.dk/~dethlef/Tips/preparation.html . I changed all the "user variables" to my favorite directories (say, E:\) except for the variable "DICTDIR". I keep "c:\usr\local\lib" because the installation procedure of ISPELL suggests that we cannot change this. This is a very important step. We need to sychronize the user variables and what we do in the installation steps. Don't worry. If we have done differently in the installation step, we can always come back to change the user variables. Secondly, I download all the first seven files listed in http://www.math.auc.dk/~dethlef/Tips/download.html . Thirdly, I install Emacs, AucTeX, Ispell, Ghostscript, Ghostview and MikTeX. I checked at every steps according to the suggestion at http://www.math.auc.dk/~dethlef/Tips/install.html . Everything worked when I am done with the installation. The only exception is that I do not see color of different LaTeX commands. For this, I follow the instruction at http://www.eece.unm.edu/pipermail/eece537/2001-November/000034.html to modify my .emacs file. Then everything worked great."
For those of you who have done it in XP, is it necessary?
Thank you,
