LaTeX Error: File `multirow.sty' not foundNo log file in Texmaker after Miktex last update (2.9.6615 version)Problem compiling: Log file not found
This is my first time using a LaTeX editor.
I installed Texmaker allowing it to use the default directory on the C drive.
Software Versions
- Windows: 7 Ultimate 64-bit
- Texmaker 3.4.1 for Windows
I then did A Local guide for using Texmaker (There use to be a link to this but it is now dead)
Basically create a simple Hello World document and save it.
When I went to process the file
Tools -> PDFLaTeX
I received
Error: Log file not found!
What I checked
I checked the configuration (Options -> configure Texmaker) and found no option for log files.
I checked for a log file under the C:Program Files (x86)Texmaker and found none.
I checked for a log path in the Windows registry using regedit and found none.
I checked the Texmaker issues and found Issue 97 but it does not help.
Any ideas?
After reading answer
I installed MiKTeX as an administrator (didn't work as user) and chose the default options. After MiKTeX installed I was able to create a PDF file using Texmaker.
Also, correctly setting the PDF viewer options
Options -> Configure Texmaker -> Commands -> PDF Viewer
Built-in Viewer and Embed
I was able to preview the pdf in Texmaker
View -> PDF Viewer
What I learned
Texmaker is a LaTeX editor which generates a file containing LaTeX markup.
MiKTeX is a program that converts the LaTeX markup into an output format such as PDF.

It is not enough to just have the TeX distribution installed, it is also necessary to add the MiKTeX bin to the path or else change the commands in the configuration to use the full path to each executable (i.e., if you look at the actual commands being called they are just "latex", "pdflatex", etc. without the path to the executable).
In my case I had MiKTeX installed and working with another editor, but it would not work with TeXMaker - adding the path to the bin to my window Path environment variable resolved the issue for me. For me this path is:

If you still get error: Log file not found!, when using Texmaker when you have done everything (installed MiKTex, installed Texmaker, and checked if the binary for MiKTeX is already in your windows environment varible) then simply close the Texmaker and reopen it as an administrator. Right click on the executable for Texmaker and "Run as administrator".
This worked for me!

I was using a portable version of miktex with texmaker. Before using the texmaker you need to click on the Miktex box, then a blue box appears at the bottom of your page. Then you can reopen the texmaker and it will work.

This also occurs if you already have an install of MikTex but for some reason it gets broken. As happened to me this morning :S The fix is to simply as MikTex to update. It will then tell you there is a problem as it can't find itself, but offers to fix the problem. Update any files you want to update eh Presto, problem solved.

I found a work-around!
I have had this problem with both TeXStudio and TeXMaker. I have manually updated all kinds of environment variables, uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated every Miktex package, etc.
And yet, I still have the error - which means it's not really either a TexMaker or TexStudio error …
What seems to be working for me, now, is reseting the config, creating a bare minimum document, and then recompiling with the regular latex compiler, and moving through them until I get to XelaTeX and final LuaLateX.
I have no idea why, but I am guessing the plain Latex compiler is doing some initializing stuff that the other compilers I have trouble with, (XeLatex and LUALaTeX are not doing. I call Voodoo.
Hope this helps.

It is possible in when using a version of Texmaker based on QT5 that you get this error even with you Tex framework available on the path.
Make sure that the document you are trying to compile has a .tex prefix, it will not work otherwise.

I was using a portable version of miktex with texmaker. Before using the texmaker you need to click on the Miktex box, then a blue box appears at the bottom of your page. Then you can reopen the texmaker and it will work.

This also occurs if you already have an install of MikTex but for some reason it gets broken. As happened to me this morning :S The fix is to simply as MikTex to update. It will then tell you there is a problem as it can't find itself, but offers to fix the problem. Update any files you want to update eh Presto, problem solved.

I found a work-around!
I have had this problem with both TeXStudio and TeXMaker. I have manually updated all kinds of environment variables, uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated every Miktex package, etc.
And yet, I still have the error - which means it's not really either a TexMaker or TexStudio error …
What seems to be working for me, now, is reseting the config, creating a bare minimum document, and then recompiling with the regular latex compiler, and moving through them until I get to XelaTeX and final LuaLateX.
I have no idea why, but I am guessing the plain Latex compiler is doing some initializing stuff that the other compilers I have trouble with, (XeLatex and LUALaTeX are not doing. I call Voodoo.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
@GuyCoder See What are the advantages of TeX Live over MikTeX for some good advice on the choice between the two main distributions for Windows. You really can't go wrong with either one. See also TeX distribution and engine for more info on what a distribution is. See also How do I update my distribution.
