Just to add to this, I downloaded it from CTAN: in the zip file there is a
"geometry.dtx" but no "geometry.ins" and to get "geometry.sty" you have to
run "tex geometry.dtx" and not "latex ..."  This does get you the very
latest version though.

Do remember that after copying it into the correct folder
(...texmf...\tex\latex\geometry), the filename database will need refreshing
manually (via the MiKTeX Settings Wizard).
