Hello, I've had the error:
 
Error: PDFLaTeX does not seem to be installed. 
Download it from ctan.org and try again.
 
when I've tried to run the example "st_example.tex" described in the documentation of Sage called: "using SageTeX" (http://www.sagemath.org/doc/tutorial/...), but I have gotten that error.
I'm running a Sage notebook installed in a VM in windows 7 in my desktop computer.
 
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you

Well... is pdflatex installed?  I think you'd have to have it installed in the VM, not just on your desktop, without some elaborate workaround.  Hopefully this is all it is.

I noticed the same error. In sage 6.1.1 and earlier under windows you can evaluate without any problems
sage:  % latex
sage:  This is {\ LaTeX}
but not in sage 6.2

With Sage notebook installed in a VM from sage.-6-2.ova we can't install anything.
Does the sage-6.2.ova is incomplete? Any tips?  Thank you
