The message "Package tikz Error: Sorry, the system call 'pdflatex -hell-escape -halt-on-e" appears when I compile with pdflatex and also when I compile with pdflatex-shell-escape.

If I remove tikzexternalize from the preamble it compiles correctly, but where I know it must be used if one wishes to include tikz images in other text files. Which function has exactly tikzexternalize because this case does not need to be used.

PS: taken from How to properly include tikz pictures in other tex files?

Main file

documentclass{book}

usepackage{pgf}

usepackage{tikz}



usetikzlibrary{shapes,external}

tikzexternalize



usepackage{lipsum}



tikzset{naming/.style={align=center,font=footnotesize}}

tikzset{area/.style = {draw, shape = regular polygon, regular polygon sides = 10, thick, minimum width = 5cm}}



begin{document}

    lipsum[1]



    input{tikzcode}



    lipsum[2] 





end{document}

Simplified file (tikzcode)

begin{figure}[htb]

    centering

    begin{tikzpicture}[font=footnotesize]

    node [area] at (0,0) (cell1) {};

    end{tikzpicture}

    caption{test}

    label{fig:test}

end{figure}

Edited:

Correct has a space after pdflatex (see image 1) the configuration is for TeXstudio in MikTex.

In the image 2 the error appears but it produces the document.
