Maybe this will help: To make MikTeX register this addition, launch the "MiKTeX Options" program (the installation wizard creates a MiKTeX group under Programs) and select the "General" tab. Click on the "Refresh Now" button under "File name database". If you prefer line commands, open a command window and type "initexmf -u" at the command prompt (or from a Start, Run prompt).
