I have installed TexLive 2016 and Anaconda3 on a Windows Server 2016. When I open a DOS box and type

pygmentize

then the program is run. However, when I do

c:\local\texlive\2016\bin\win32\pdflatex.exe -shell-escape talk.tex

I get

(c:/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/font/beamerfontthemes
erif.sty) (/users/eda/mosekprj/generic/docs/branding/tex-common/msk-math.tex))system returned with code -1

\minted@apppathifexists=

! Package minted Error: You must have `pygmentize' installed to use this package.

See the minted package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

Any suggestions for a solution or how to debug this?

  • What does echo %PATH% in the DOS box give? How exactly are you running pdflatex (same DOS box, same directory or ...?).

  • I run the command in the directory in which the tex is located. And yes it is on the C drive.

  • pygmentize are on the PATH. And I run pdflatex from the DOS box in which I check pygmentize can be run.

  • I also tried to add the command \renewcommand{\MintedPygmentize}{c:/local/Anaconda3/Scripts/pygmentize.exe}. But nothing changed.

The problem can be fixed by doing

set PATH=c:\windows\system32;%PATH%

this makes sure cmd.exe is available. My guess is pdflatex or minted requires cmd.exe.

I do know why cmd.exe is not on the PATH on a Windows 2016. Most likely for security reasons.
