Re: No output with latest Miktex 2.9

I also find since the latest update, files that used to produce pdf output
now produce nothing.  In my case it happens when there are bibtex warnings
about bibliography entries.  Before the update the file produced a pdf any
way.  Now it does not.  And when I correct the warning problems, usually
pdf latex will produce a pdf but it no longer automatically opens the pdf
for me to see.  Now I have to open it separately.  I will not include
sample files since I think Dr Ambrosi has given enough of a start for that.
