Hi there,

I don't think I completely understand your question. Why don't you use miktex package manager to download and install these files, pretty much wherever it needs them???

Cheers

As mentioned above, Miktex has a package manager, a tool with GUI, to install packages.

In the Miktex-folder in the start-menu, choose Settings. (If you are on Vista, use the search function in the start menu, and search for "settings".)

In the window that opens, go to the tab on the far right, there is a button that says "Start package manager", or something like that.

After having installed the packages, go to the first tab of the Settings-windows, and refresh FNDB (file name data base) and update formats.
