Re: MikTeX Configuration Utility Failure

Not sure what the problem is, but this is what I do in such cases.

1) Ensure that the file that is missing is actually on the system, in the TeX system tree. 
2) Ensure that I have refreshed the FNDB
   Start->programs->MikTeX 2.9->Settings->Refresh FNDB
3) If file is not on system, try to google it, and you might find it online. Put it in a correct place, go to step 2 and try to rebuild format files.

> Has anyone else experienced this problem?

No. But I activate patterns only for a very small set of languages.
