Ensure you have installed the latest version of MikTex (from official website of MikTex here) before proceeding (we have installed MikTex 2.9 in our Windows 7 64 bit for this tutorial) and then download to install TeXnic Center, again the latest version.
The configuration wizard appears as soon as installation process finishes in TeXnic Center. This wizard helps you create profiles to generate printable files. Since we are using the MikTeX distribution, TeXnic Center performs best when configured and integrated with MikTeX distribution directory.
The TeX distribution files differ from normal (86x) and 64-bit Windows 7 (64x) operating system. On 64 bit Windows, the MikTeX’s TeX-distribution are located at
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64
where as in normal installation of Windows (ie 32 bit OS) the location of TeX-distribution is
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin
On the next wizard, give the path of pdf-file viewer like Acrobat reader or PDF reader that comes with your LaTeX program or Foxit reader or Google Chrome browser even. Also give the path for viewing post script (*.ps) files executed from the TeXnic Center.
The default location for pdf/ps files to execute is located in your MiKTeX folder atC:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\mixktex-texworks.exe for Windows 7 64 bit and
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\miktex\bin\mixktex-texworks.exe for normal Windows installation (32 bit)
