Using the package manager one can install a package titled tex2xindy binaries. However, the executable tex2xindy.exe is installed to miktex\bin\x64\internal\ and is thus not added to the system path. When trying to execute it explicitly, the program crashes (procedure entry point "" not found). How is tex2xindy for Miktex supposed to work?

  • Usually it is not needed to execute tex2xindy as a user command. It is a filter used internally. User commands are xindy and texindy. – Akira Kakuto Jan 24 '16 at 06:19
  • The only file which matches *indy*.exe contained in the Miktex installation folder is tex2xindy.exe. – Jack Miller Jan 31 '16 at 11:56

As noted in this answer, xindy has been included with MikTeX since June 2015. As long as MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin is included in your path, you'll have xindy and texindy available. Here's a MWE:

xindy-test.tex:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{makeidx,lipsum}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]

\index{Hello}
\index{world}

\printindex
\end{document}

You build with, e.g.:

xelatex xindy-test
texindy -C utf8 -L english -o xindy-test.ind xindy-test.idx
xelatex xindy-test
