I'm using TeXworks for writing a book in LaTex based on a Springer Template.
During the first test of their sample, TeXworks asked me to install fonts\type1\urw\symbol\usyr.pfb
as it is missing from the package symbol
. However, whatever I try, I get following error during the installation:
starting package maintenance... installation directory: "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX" package repository: (http://ctan.uib.no/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/) lightweight database digest: fe8645631bc046ced54f9c0c57133b55 going to download 38166 bytes going to install 14 file(s) (1 package(s)) downloading (http://ctan.uib.no/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/symbol.cab...) 38166 bytes, 89.17 KB/Sec extracting files from symbol.cab... xdvipdfmx: Windows API error 87: The parameter is incorrect. xdvipdfmx: Data: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex/data/le\09b5c372fc5c4f2c55f13bbf51b8f129.fndb Trying to make PK font usyr at 600 DPI...

As the OP did not respond, here's a community wiki answer.
The issue has been solved by using the MiKTeX Package Manager instead of automatic package maintenance, as confirmed by Ruben.
