Here is my solution (i think that somebody can have a better).

1.- Uninstall papers

2.- download a earlier version of papers from internerd (googling), it can be a zip or cab. I don't remember where is the version that i downloaded , but the file is about 40kb.

3.- unzip the zip or cab, you must have 4 folders: doc, source, tex, tpm.

4.- copy the folders to texmf

5.- go to miktex settings, refresh FNBD & update formats.

6.- happy TeXing

Hey. I've got exactly the same problem.
Do everyone know the reason for it?

I would like to test your solution, but after 2 hours searching by google I could not find some other version.

I also have the same problem. I have updated to Miktex 2.7 and now suddenly I don't have the paper class anymore, although miktex package manager shows it installed. I tried de-installing re-installing without result. A windows search for the paper.cls file doesn't result in any hits.

Deeno, could you give us a link to the package you have found, because I have trouble finding it.

Where/who should we turn to for a bug report? Is it miktex or the paper package?

Thanks for any advice/help

The following link provides the package, but is another version then mentioned by Deeno.
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... rib/paper/
It requires some manual installation steps described in the accompanying readme. After running the "latex install" command, I have copied the resulting files to my "MiKTeX2.7\tex\latex\texmf" directory. Then run the miktex settings, refresh FNBD & update formats.
That solved it for me.

Good luck!

This is a very unusual behaviour of the package manager. Perhaps de-installing and re-installing MikTeX will help. Additional cleaning of some directories might do the trick.

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MiKTeX
C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\MiKTeX

This comes with no guaranty because I've got a german system. But I think that these paths should be correct on an english one. You will find these paths on your system depending on the system language.

I Think that mark1's solution is the best because uses the last package version. But it didn't work for me (because when i run LaTeX on install, it give me a error...). I also reinstalled windows and miktex, but this did't fix the problem.

I uploaded the paper.cab file to my website, but i don't know if is possible to link files from here. So, pm me.

Good luck.
