My MiKTeX package manager isn't talking to the FTP (Retrieval error) or HTTP (404 error) so I'm installing MiKTeX from .tar.gz files, on Vista.

I unzipped the files and saved the beamer (and pgf and xcolor) folder to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex . These files are all today's versions from sourceforge.net. I have verified that the exact location of beamerbasercs.sty is in fact C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex\beamer\base\ .

... but nothing comes out. I have already tried texhash and mktexlsr. Here's my log. Thanks!

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.8-alpha-20080323 (MiKTeX 2.7) (preloaded format=latex 2008.5.4) 2 MAR 2010 18:44

    Hi,

    this is a mass response to all the bugs, support requests and feature requests. Since many of those have been spammed to the point of being unreadable, it's really hard to go through them all. They are all getting closed now.

    LaTeX beamer class has moved from SourceForge to bitbucket; new URI is http://bitbucket.org/rivanvx/beamer/

    If you still experience this bug, or still want this feature, or still have a support request, please report it over there. Thank you.
