BibTeX

Here you can get a standalone version of BibTeX. It was taken out of MiKTeX 2.4 and it's useful if you want to use the export feature of Bibwiki but don't want to install a full LaTeX environment on your computer.

Installation

• Extract the file to   C:\.
• Open the file   \BibTeX Settings.reg.
• Change   Path-To-Your-Bibfiles   to the local texmf root where you store your bibliography   (.bib)   files. The place of your bibliographies must correspond to the TeX directory structure. This means that they must be stored in a folder structure like   <path>\bibtex\bib.   <path>   is the texmf root.
• If you want BibTeX to be at another place than   C:\texmf,   you also have to change the other paths in   BibTeX Settings.reg.
• Save the file and insert the settings into the registry by double-clicking the file.
• Update the TeX directory cache. Execute   C:\texmf\miktex\bin\texhash.exe.
• Tell Bibwiki the place of BibTeX. Change   $wgBibTeXExecutable   in   BibwikiSettings.php   to   'C:\texmf\miktex\bin\bibtex.exe' or to your customized location.
