Here's a very simple ORG file:
--------
#+OPTIONS: LaTeX:dvipng
* Test file
\begin{equation}
x=\sqrt{b}
\end{equation}
----------
When I export this to HTML (Org-mode version 7.8.11 (release_7.8.11-12-gc55405 @ c:/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/)), the equation comes out blank.
The HTML file contains the following code:
<img src="ltxpng/test_660c6efb146974e9d77e2de45f258385867ef389.png" alt="\begin{equation}
x=\sqrt{b}
\end{equation}"/>
However, directory ltxpng is empty.
I'm running Emacs 24.0.97 under Windows Vista with MikTeX 2.09 installed and PATH set so that I can call pdflatex, dvipng, etc. from the command line just fine.
Any thoughts about what might be going wrong?

The *Messages* buffer shows the following:

Investigating further, the log file associated with the tex file listed above shows the following:

Pass the -shell-escape flag to LaTeX. Refer to the minted.sty documentation for

So now I can see what the problem is, but how do I tell org-mode to call latex with the -shell-escape flag?

You can customize org-latex-to-pdf-process (or
org-e-latex-pdf-process[fn:1] if you are using the new exporter). In my
case, I have
,----
| org-latex-to-pdf-process is a variable defined in `org-latex.el'.
| Its value is ("texi2dvi --pdf %f")
| Original value was
| ("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
`----
but texi2dvi probably does not exist on windows (and you still have to
patch it even on linux). Just add --shell-escape after every pdflatex
(or whatever command is invoked on windows).

Footnotes:
[fn:1] NB: different spelling in the two cases - not only the added "e-" but
also the missing "-to".

In my init.el, I have
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
'("pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))
The problem is that when I export to HTML with the dvipng option, it's calling latex, not pdflatex, so I don't think this option has an effect.

Ah, right: that's hardwired and needs source code changes. The call is
in org.el:org-create-formula-image-with-dvipng. This was reported by
Ista Zahn (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/50533). I
would encourage you to submit a patch for this[fn:1] - maybe make it
conditional on the value of org-export-latex-listings.
