I am trying to check if minted is already installed in my computer. I successfully installed Python, distributed.py and pip as instructed in this tutorial. I am now trying to test the new package with the sample:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{minted}
\setsansfont{Calibri}
\setmonofont{Consolas}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\theFancyVerbLine}{
\sffamily\textcolor[rgb]{0.5,0.5,0.5}{\scriptsize\arabic{FancyVerbLine}}}
\begin{minted}[mathescape,
linenos,
numbersep=5pt,
gobble=2,
frame=lines,
framesep=2mm]{csharp}
string title = "This is a Unicode π in the sky"
/*
Defined as $\pi=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{P_n}{d}$ where $P$ is the perimeter
of an $n$-sided regular polygon circumscribing a
circle of diameter $d$.
*/
const double pi = 3.1415926535
\end{minted}
\end{document}
I tried generating the sample in my TeXworks but the log file says that expl3.sty not found even though when I checked the Package Manager, it is present.
Here is the complete log file for more information:

expl3directly anywhere. I don’t know whether it’s used indirectly anywhere. – Konrad Rudolph Nov 18 '12 at 19:34minted, ratherfontspecrequiresexpl3. However, it's not really a LaTeX error at all: the problem is that MiKTeX is failing to download and install on the fly correctly. I would try using the MiKTeX Package Manager to pick a different source and re-try installing thel3kernelbundle (which containsexpl3). – Joseph Wright♦ Nov 18 '12 at 19:50l3kernelbut how do I 'pick a different source'? – Saggy Manatee And Swan Folk Nov 18 '12 at 23:59mintedrelies on an external program (pygmentize) based on Python. However the documentation says that Windows in not really supported byminted(section 2.4); you may try installing Python andpygmentizeas suggested there. – egreg Jan 5 '13 at 22:57
