Using this option, the file compiles OK, but YAP fails to display the picture after using TeX mproof. The error message is this:

You can probably use it with the command line option --tex=latex.

This tells mpost which engine to use _before_ it reads its input file.

If this works, it might be worthwhile to file a bug report to the
MiKTeX maintaner(s).

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
