Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Babel package - Not loading "english"!

[Tobias_Denmark]

After updating my Miktex 2.9 packages on Windows (TeXnicCenter 2.02), my script will not load babel languages packages (21/5-2014). See MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\begin{document}

\end{document}

It gives me the following errors:

1) Package babel Error: Unknown option 'english'. Eiter you misspelled it or the language definition file english.ldf was not found

2) Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option. See the babel package documentation for explanation.

Any help out there?

• I have tried to delete the .aux file (and all others except the .tex file).
• I have read other blogs and post for help.
• The MWE is working fine in "www.writelatex.com".
• I have found the babel package in MikTex "Package Manager". There is also a "babel-english which is "\Uncategorized". Is that a problem?
• I have also gone into "Repository->Synchronize". That didn't not help either.

Is it time to re-install MikTex or just delete the babel package?

I found the solution myself.

The package "babel-english" was not installed (maybe removed after prior updates), so after manual installation in the "Package Manager" program, I got it to work. Hope that will help any others with the same problem.
