BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ whitespace in path (probably a simple question)

[cresposito]

I'm relatively new to LaTeX, and am using TeXnicCenter and MiKTeX on a Vista machine, so I think that this issue probably has more to do with my own inexperience than anything else.

I am trying to use a downloaded .bst file, but BiBTeX can't get to the file because there is whitespace in the path. Here is the path:

c:/program files/miktex 2.7/bibtex/bst/aguplus/agu08

I've tried using \ or quotes, but I can't get BiBTex to overlook the space. All of the following have failed:

\bibliographystyle{c:/program\files/miktex 2.7/bibtex/bst/aguplus/agu08}
\bibliographystyle{c:/program\\files/miktex 2.7/bibtex/bst/aguplus/agu08}
\bibliographystyle{"c:/program files/miktex 2.7/bibtex/bst/aguplus/agu08"}
\bibliographystyle{'c:/program files/miktex 2.7/bibtex/bst/aguplus/agu08'}

I haven't gotten that far, but I'm sure I'll have the same problem with the "miktex 2.7" folder.

You should not need to include the path for the .bst files if it's in a directory that your TeX system searches. Just put:

\bibliographystyle{agu08}

I'm not familiar with this bib style in question. If it came installed with MikTeX or you installed it through the package manager, it should already be able to find it.

If this is something you're installing on your own, I'd create your own directory in which to place these things, and follow the directions here here on Integrating Local Additions on the MikTeX site for making it known to the system.
