I use Windows Vista and the MikTek distribution for Latex. I download the zip-file, which is opened in windows explorer. I save the files in the same folder as other TeX packages. I then run LyX (and/or TeX). Neither of them finds the sty-file.
One of the files is caption.dtx. I have pasted the content of it in a TeX-file and ran it (in TeXnicenter). I always encounter this same error. Sincerely, Ad -----Original Message----- From: Paul A.

What operating system and LaTeX distribution are you using, and precisely how did you go about installing the package? /Paul
