I am having trouble isntalling siunitx package. It used to work before but after I updated my miktex it doesn't work anymore. I have also installed expl3 and xpackages. I don't understand what else I can do

Re: siunitx package
Post your log, perhaps? The support packages for siunitx have recently been re-arranged on CTAN. You will need to make sure you have 'l3kernel' and 'l3packages' installed. (These have been renamed from 'expl3' and 'xpackages'.)

siunitx package
Very unlikely that this was the fix. I did the latest update with the older version of the MiKTeX Net Installer and had no problems.ghostanime2001 wrote:[…] I went on miketex website and the new miketex file is "setup-2.9.4193" instead of "setup-2.9.3959" i guess that's where my problem was fixed. :lol:

Re: siunitx package
My previous version of miketex was giving me errors when i loaded the siunitx package and i tried doing what the author did in the first 2 posts but It did not work especially using texhash or whatever and it loads for like 1 second and automatically closes and nothing had changed so i got fed up
but atleast whatever was causing the problem. It is fixed now and i can use the package.

Re: siunitx package
A simple update of your system would have been enough. Such things save time contrary to such sledgehammer methods.

Re: siunitx package
I tried doing that 3 times and it said that there was no need to update msg. I didn't know what else i could do.
