Unable to execute 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\hoctoan.com\httpdocs\home/filter/tex/mimetex.exeIt appears that your IIS web server isn't configured to allow external programs like mimetex to be executed. Unfortunately I don't know anything about IIS. If you search this forum, you will find other people who encountered this problem and seem to have found a solution. Try following the links they posted or contact them by email.
thankyou very much for your advise. I am trying
Shital Shah's solution to this ongoing problem is described at http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Eq2Img.asp where he describes how to install mimetex as a Win32 DLL (rather than as a stand-alone executable image). His latest code can be downloaded from http://www.shitalshah.com/dev/eq2img_all.zip
Of course, that would require some changes to the tex filter (which is easy for me to say since I wouldn't have to make them). DLL installation at each moodle site would also add complexity. I have no idea whether or not it's worth the effort. Probably not for everybody. But if your sysadmin is willing to install dll's while refusing to run cgi's, then Shital's solution should work.
