I am trying to install the hieroglf
package on my PC. I am running MiKTeX 2.9.
When I try to run latex hieroglf.ins
I get an error message indicating that the file can not be found. I know the file is in the directory in which I am working.
This appears to be the same issue as the one indicated here:

archaic
package. For the most part, stuff on CTAN can be installed directly via the manager.
