Hey,

I've gotten my setup working now but it took some more trouble then just 
switching to tex live. After having done this I had issues with the 
current version of 'rungs' included in tex live 2019. The issues I got 
were similar to https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698680 if 
anyone is interested. I was able to fix this (for now) by making use of 
'mgs.exe' included with MiKTeX.

Kind regards,

Pim Remkes
