[texpoint-users] [install problem] latex/dvips/gswin32c/pstoedit can be run in command line but TexPoint cannot run them

[TexPoint Service]

 This is very strange. I see that your PATH is set correctly. Could it
be some security setting? I honestly have no idea why texpoint is not
allowed to run any commands on your system.
