Hi Jeremie

In my emacs it works great. Even org-fragtog that allows you to edit in 
an interactive manner.

- Just in case it could be helpfult, these are the lines in my init file 
that I can find related to LaTeX:

(custom-set-variables

  '(org-preview-latex-image-directory "~/borrar/ltximg/")

  '(preview-TeX-style-dir "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-13.0.11/latex" t))


- I installed LaTeX following these instructions:

https://ikaruga2.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/latex-emacs-and-orgmode-in-windows/


- I have edited the Windows System Variable "Path" and added to it:

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\


I hope that helps

I manage to solve the problem just by updating the temporary-file-directory
(setq temporary-file-directory
"c:/Users/JeremieJuste/AppData/Local/Temp/")

org-latex preview on Windows

[Jeremie Juste]

Hello everyone,

I have had difficulties using  org-latex-preview to run properly on Windows.
The main issue seems to be that the user name on windows gets abbreviated
with ~. As far as I understand this generate problems as the temporary
folder cannot be found.

see for instance these posts
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/70119

and an old post from Vincente Vera
https://list.orgmode.org/CAMfbzvDPLS1eqXJ=7TZH1035Z3Vq4q4-yJMqsVBcGxzP8kDUjw@mail.gmail.com/

Vincente, suggests altering the temporary environment variable
(setenv "TEMP" "C:\Temp"). I have tried this option and place it in my
.init file but the Temporary file in org-mode uses does not change. 


As a work around I modified the function org-compile-file in lisp/org/
org-macs.el
by adding altering the source variable as such

 (let* ((source (replace-regexp-in-string "JEREMI~1" "JeremieJuste"
source))

This is obviously not an ideal solution but I cannot find any other
solution immediately. Have someone else come across the same issue on
Windows? Do you have any suggestions?

Best regards,
Jeremie

Isn't it Emacs upstream bug? temporary-file-directory is supposed to
return a reachable path.
