Or only MiKTeX ? I downloaded the "unix-style" version of auctex from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/auctex-11.84.tar.gz and followed the installation instructions (configure, make, make install). I did this as a user with administrator privileges. No special configuration was needed to make auctex use miktex, since miktex is the only version of tex I have installed. So auctex simply finds miktex's executables in my path. I did have to do a little fiddling to make previewing work right. Here are the relevant lines from my .emacs: (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (require 'tex-mik) (setq TeX-output-view-style (quote (("^dvi$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$" "dvips %d -o && cygstart %f") ("^dvi$" "." "yap -1 %dS %d") ("^pdf$" "." "cygstart %o") ("^html?$" "." "cygstart %o")))) (setq TeX-view-style (quote (("^epsf$" "cygstart %f") ("." "yap -1 %dS %d")))) If I remember correctly, the main thing was to take the default settings and replace "start" by "cygstart" in a few places.
