[Tex/LaTex] gnuplottex with windows 8.1

gnuplotmiktextexmakerwindows

I am having difficulties setting up my system right in order to add the gnuplottex abbility. I followed this tutorial: adding gnuplot capability to latex and also used the mwe posted in this thread. In addition to that, I have spent quite some time researching without figuring out what the problem is.

I am using windows 8.1, miktex 2.9, texmaker 4.2 and gnuplot 4.6. I have added the command --enable-write18 to the pdflatex command and also tried different versions I have read about.

While compiling the mwe a warning is shown for a short moment about not finding the commands touch and rm. There is an entry in the log-file:

\verbatim@out=\write3
runsystem(touch w18-test-20148448.tex)...executed.

runsystem(rm -f w18-test-20148448.tex)...executed.


Package gnuplottex Warning: Shell escape not enabled.
(gnuplottex)                You'll need to convert the graphs yourself..

Does anybody know a solution how to add the abbility to compile gnuplottex codes with my system setup? Every and any hint is appreciated.

Thats how i enabled shell escape in TexMaker:

The problem has been solved by using \usepackage[miktex]{gnuplottex} and by deactivating the Use a "build" subdirectory for output files option by Texmaker
