I've recently switched to windows from linux and I'm having trouble getting my custom beamer style files to compile correctly. I have them in ~/texmf/tex/latex/local currently. There are other style files in there that are working correctly so the directory is on the right tex path, and when I copy the style files into the same directory as the code they also work.
Does beamer use a different path ? I ran texhash.exe, is there a separate command to set the beamer path?

My bad. It turns out that texpath.exe wasn't updating the path correctly. For anyone that wants to fix this, after adding files to your ~/texmf/tex/latex/local directory (or whatever you're using) you need to refresh the MikTeX path. Go to MiKTeX 2.X > Maintenance (Admin) > Settings (Admin) (or without the (Admin), if that is not in your menus), "General" tab > "Refresh FNDB".
