MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ cannot find installed .sty

[CoolnessItself]

I'm trying to install tkz-graph.sty. I navigate to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\latex\, create a tkz-graph folder, copy it there, run options and refresh FNDB, then \usepackage{tkz-graph}
! LaTeX Error: File `tkz-graph.sty' not found.

Suggestions?

You need to rehash your TeX tree. I think there's a button in the MikTeX settings dialog that reads, "Refresh FNDB" or something like that (FNDB = File Name DataBase).

Wow, a fellow Amherstian... small world...

...but please read the original post, Karl. Coolness has already refreshed the FNDB.

Is this package not available from CTAN? Can it not be installed through the MikTeX package manager?

Can it find it if you put the .sty file in the same folder as the file you're compiling? (Not a great long-term solution, but may help diagnose the trouble.)

No. A few other tkz-*** packages exist but none of them contain tkz-graph. Unless when I open the package manager it's querying an out of date database...

Yes. So I can function until a solution is found

Have you tried creating a user-managed TEXMF directory, as described in this tutorial on the MikTeX site?
