TikZ Preview has trouble compiling on Windows/MiKTeX

See original GitHub issue

This is a continuation of the last few bits of conversation in #1528, around this comment: https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/issues/1528#issuecomment-515290817.

To quote @joulev, this is the issue.

@tecosaur I just checked, and both latexmk and pdftex inside VSCode don’t work 😞.

If I run the commands from the command line, both produce no error messages, but there are nothing in the PDF file. But \tikzset is recognized! What I have done

  1. Run latexmk in the editor.
  2. Run pdftex from the command line.
  3. Run latexmk from the command line.

These are the relevant files I think. Ask me if you want more information.

(go to https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/issues/1528#issuecomment-515290817 for files)

I was unable to reproduce the issue with MiKTeX on Win7.

Apparently in the 8.0.4 update, everything related to TikZ preview is lost.
