English language installation difficulties

[gapster]

I'm installing TeX2img 2.10 on Windows 10 / TeX Live. I followed the instructions in this Stack Exchange answer (in the comments) but I get this error:

Here is my preamble:

%latex: pdflatex \documentclass[fleqn]{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{xcolor} \pagestyle{empty}

I hope that's enough information for you. If not, let me know. Gary

Your preamble and the running compiler are consistent and look appropriate. I suppose you are using in the document body some commands which are allowed only in preamble such as \usepackage. Please try replacing the document body with simpler contents such as $x$ in order to isolate the issue.

Thanks, but that's not it. Below are my document body, and below that the entire log.. It looks like a font issue perhaps? My Tex Live is not set up correctly? I'm upgrading TeXLive. Maybe that will fix any installation issues.

Where does the log file 2lan4rg2.log get written? I can't find it.

\begin{document} Hello, world. \end{document}

You must not write \begin{document} and \end{document} in the main body of input, so you should write only Hello World. TeX2img automatically inserts \begin{document} and \end{document}.

That does it. Thank you.
