MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ MikTex with TeXnicCenter

[MikeHawk]

Hi guys,

i am trying my first steps with these programs. I downloaded some different guidelines for the installation and tried all of them, but unfortunatly i am allways having trouble with the output:

This is pdfeTex, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (MikTex 2.5)
entering extended mode
("Test.tex"
LaTeX2e <2005/12/01_
Babel <v3.8g> and hyphentation patterns for english, dumylang, nohyphentation, german, ngerman, frech, loaded.
! LaTeX Error: File 'csrartcl.cls' not found.

Could anybody solve my problem? thanks for your support, Mike

I think you mistyped the error message: the missing file is probably
srcartcl.cls
which is a class of documents defined in the bundle of packages koma-script. So I guess you haven't installed koma-script (it is not by default). Right?

true, I haven't installed it yet.

do you maybe have a link where i can download koma-script? do i have to install it in a specific order?

thx for support, Mike

If you just want to test latex, you can use the class "article"

[balfonsi]

Just use MiKTeX package manager (Start menu >MiKTeX 2.5> Browse Packages) : you right click on koma-script, choose install, and you're done.

Hi guys,

I have done and tried a few times. Still I have the problems, that the scrartcl.cls does not exist...

However, if you use mpm, rightclick on koma-script and choose properties, instead of install, you see the file in the list and where it should be, so you can check. Perhaps, you should refresh the filename database manually? Does your preamble begin by something like
\documentclass[options...]{scrartcl}?
