Document Classes ⇒ Usage of Class fails

[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:

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.
