Usage of Class fails

Post by RossJJ »

Hi all,

I need to use the achemso class for an ACS journal submission.

I loaded the package through the MiKTeX 2.8 package manager. It didn't work. I re-tried and then updated the FDNB, again it still wouldn't work.

After multiple attempts at uninstalling and re-installing the closest I got was an issue with the hyphenation package for German languages. I've turned off all languages but still nothing.

This is the output info:

Code: Select all

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (MiKTeX 2.8) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2013.5.2)  3 MAY 2013 15:39

Any help would be much appreciated.

MiKTeX 2.8 has reached its end of life. That's why package download fails. Migrate to MiKTeX 2.9 and try the entire process again.


Best regards and welcome to the board
