On windows you have to download miktex: http://miktex.org/
I am not sure if miktex includes pdflatex. I only used it on linux but it should be easy to define it after miktex is installed. Anyway, I strongly recommend that you install cygwin. It includes python, latex, pdflatex and a bash (unix-like) shell. web2py runs great from that environment. massimo On Jan 1, 12:20 pm, Martin Weissenboeck <mweis...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am looking for something like pdflatex.exe.
