I'm using MikTeX on Windows 10. If, from the context menu for test.tex, I
open test.tex with pdflatex (or with latex), execution blocks with an error
message saying that the program can't write on test.log. If, instead, I
open test.tex with TeXworks and invoke pdflatex (or latex) from there, it
succeeds. This suggests to me that it's not a permissions problem -- or
that, if it is, it's more subtle than I know how to deal with. Grateful for
any suggestions.
