[texpoint-users] TexPoint Preview not working, bad install?

[M. Boss]

What is wrong with my texpoint installation?  I couldn't get it to work at
all until I manually told texpoint where to look for gsview.  I still can't
get the preview to work (it won't even display simple plain text), and
manually pointing to latex in my miktex directory didn't help.  I also see
numerous other errors, but am not sure how to proceed.  Any ideas of where
to start?  Thanks for any help!

If all external commands are OK, TexPoint is fully functional. In case a
'FAILED' is shown, some features will not work. You may want to install the
indicated software and/or check the global (on Mac: the bash) path
configuration. Please also check the manual for details.
