Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Problems installing auctex on Windows 10

[R C]

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I tried a couple more times and finally the installation worked.

I have only texlive2018 installed and I had (set-language-environment "utf-8")  set in my init file.

I am not sure what the problem was, but everything is working fine now.

However, for future reference I would like to know how to fix the docstrip error when doing the installation from source.

Regards,

R C

It seems that multibyte mode is disabled for some unknown reason and
multibyte characters in tex-jp.el are treated as sequences of raw bytes.

On my windows 10 home edition, installing from elpa works without such
error.  Could you provide the output of M-x TeX-submit-bug-report?

I suspect that there is some problem in your installation of TeX
distribution.  Speculating from the following lines, you have two
different TeX distributions and they might interfere in some ways.
