It looks like you have MiKTeX: C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\; Which is strange because I also have MiKTeX, but was only able to reproduce the problem when I installed texlive instead. It's possible the problem only arises in newer versions, and my MiKTeX is a bit old. > Le jeu. 30 janv. 2020 à 15:46, Jean-François Ingenbleek < > jinge...@gmail.com <javascript:>> a écrit : > >> a better solution, is to remove texlive from your $PATH environment >> variable >> >> hum, hum... how to do that? >> thanks in advance >> >> Le jeu. 30 janv. 2020 à 15:07, E.
