Starting Wiley Template

Question

I have downloaded the Wiley Book Style template, moved the complete file to my latex folder, then extracted the zip. Upon trying to generate a PDF, using MiKTEX, for w-bksamp.tex I return the error wileySev.cls not found.

In short, what is the sequence of operations needed to use the Wiley Book Style template?

Answer 1

I'm using the current MiKTeX 2.9, ecact from log file: pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (MiKTeX 2.9) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2013.7.29).

BTW: Which version do you use? It could be that your version is a little bit outdated?! Have a look at the beginning of your log file and add it to your question.

If I copy the content of the zip file to a directory WileyBook, I can read and write (for example for user test on windows 7: C:\Users\Test\Documents\WileyBook) documents I can compile the file w-bksamp.tex without any errors or warnings, resulting in a pdf with 52 pages. C:\Users\Test\Documents is the standard directory user Test of a windows computer can read and write with no restrictions ... Please keep in mind: both files, the class file and your thesis must be in the same directory (if not MikTeX will not find the class file and that is the error message you got).

If you want to have the class in a separate folder please follow question Create a local texmf tree in MiKTeX to create a local texfm tree and follow question How can I manually install a package on MiKTeX (Windows) how to install the class for Wiley Books. Please be careful: you need to refresh FNDB or it will not work because MiKTeX uses the FNDB (File Name Data Base) to locate class files in the texmf tree (system or local)!
