BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ installation of a .bst file

[sdaza]

Hi everyone,
I have tried to install specific bibliography styles coping the corresponding .bst the files in the bst directory (bibtex), but it didn't work. This is the link of the styles:

Any ideas? I am using Windows 7.

Thank you in advance.

I don't use Windows or MikTeX, but assuming you're using MikTeX, try following the instructions given here for creating a Local TeX Tree, and put the .bst files in <tree root>\bibtex\bst\Sociology, e.g., C:\Local TeX Files\bibtex\bst\misc.

Be sure to add the root in MiKTeX options, as explained in the link above, and refresh the file name database afterwards.

It didn't work. I am using MikTex 2.8 and I got: not a TDS-compliant root directory.

Any ideas?
