I have M-Plus version 4 and M-Plus demo version 7 on my desktop, and Stata version 13. I am teaching a class and using runmplus with M-Plus (students have the version 7 demo installed on their laptops and Stata 13). On my computer, runmplus has no problem locating either version of M-Plus. However, several students are having difficulty getting runmplus to locate M-Plus on their laptops.
I found a response on the listserv indicating that one could assign global macros to point to the location of M-Plus, like this:
global mplusdemo7_path `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mplus Demo\mpdemo7.exe"'
global mplus_path `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mplus\Mplus.exe"'
However when I tried this, runmplus could no longer locate either of these versions of M-plus on my computer. I had to close Stata and reopen to restore the defaults, and once again runmplus could locate both versions. I would like to know what I am doing wrong so I can help my students. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Garth
