[texpoint-users] Cannot configure texpoint

[TexPoint]

Hi,

   I have not encountered this error before. What version of Windows
is this? The problem seems to be that TexPoint cannot write the file
TexPoint.bat in the directory of the presentation, or it cannot
execute it. Have you tried to move the presentation to another
directory?

 If you open a DOS window and type "latex", "dvips", and "gswin32c"
does it work? I assume it does because I see you have the PATH setup
properly.

George.

> 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.
