I wrote my CV using the \moderncv package just recently. All worked fine until I updated MikTex and the moderncv package (via the MikTex package manager). Now I use MikTex 2.9 and moderncv 2.0.0 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. Unfortunately, all my beautiful CVs are no more compilable.
Even worse, when I try the template given on CTAN (template.tex):
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{casual} % style options are 'casual' (default), 'classic', 'banking', 'oldstyle' and 'fancy'
\moderncvcolor{blue} % color options 'black', 'blue' (default), 'burgundy', 'green', 'grey', 'orange', 'purple' and 'red'
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
% personal data
\name{John}{Doe}
\title{Resumé title} % optional, remove / comment the line if not wanted
\address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}% optional, remove / comment the line if not wanted; the "postcode city" and "country" arguments can be omitted or provided empty
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890} % optional, remove / comment the line if not wanted; the optional "type" of the phone can be
\email{john@doe.org} % optional, remove / comment the line if not wanted
\homepage{www.johndoe.com} % optional, remove / comment the line if not wanted
\begin{document}
%\begin{CJK*}{UTF8}{gbsn} % to typeset your resume in Chinese using CJK
%----- resume ---------------------------------------------------------
\makecvtitle
\section{Education}
\cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{\textit{Grade}}{Description} % arguments 3 to 6 can be left empty
\cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{\textit{Grade}}{Description}
\end{document}
TexStudio prompts the following errors:
- Command \name already defined. \newcommand*{\name}1{{\namefont#1}}
- Undefined control sequence. \moderncvstyle
- Missing \begin{document}. \moderncvstyle{c
I have to admit that I am a Tex newbie and have no idea where to start. Could somebody please help me to solve this issue?

EDIT
And here are the first two complete error messages from the log file:
First:
! LaTeX Error: Command \name already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
Second:
! Undefined control sequence. l.5 \moderncvstyle
{casual} % style options are '... The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help.
EDIT
When I check the packages named in the log file against another users result after compiling (see accepted answer) some differences strike me. First, I have some packages in an older version, albeit installing MikTeX just two days ago:
- graphics.sty (2014/10/28 v1.0p)
- trig.sty (1999/03/16 v1.09)
- graphics.cfg (2007/01/18 v1.5)
Then there is one package which I found in my list which is not on the accepted answer:
- moderncvcolorblue.sty (2015/07/28 v2.0.0)
And finally a couple of packages not in my list:
- moderncvstylecasual.sty 2015/07/28 v2.0.0
- moderncviconsawesome.sty 2015/07/28 v2.0.0
- fontawesome.sty 2015/07/30 v4.4.0
- fontawesomesymbols-generic.tex
- fontawesomesymbols-pdftex.tex
- moderncvheadii.sty 2015/07/28 v2.0.0

- umvs.fd
- mt-mvs.cfg 2006/07/05 v1.1
- omslmr.fd 2009/10/30 v1.6
Also my MikTex Settings look different:
Does anyone learn more from that than me?
Best Answer
With an current MiKTeX 2.9 I can compile with
pdflatexthe following MWE without any errors and only three warnings, which are caused by an error in themoderncvclass.The difference to your MWE is that I added two lines
to get rid of the warnings for
fontawesomeand\footskip is too small.If I compare my resulting list of used packages and versions
I see that my system used an newer
graphics.stythan yours so the problem of yours could be a not current MiKTeX system and some other packages which are not listed in your list.Please copy my following MWE and compile it on your system. It should compile without errors. If not, your systems seems to be faulty. Compare the resulting list with mine above.
Changed MWE:
To check if you are using an local texmf tree please open the MiKTeX settings, choose root and compare with the following image:
You see my used localtexmf tree marked with the red arrow.
To be sure which
moderncvis used you can check the logfile. At the beginning you will find something like:In the last line you can see the directory of my
moderncv.clsused.Your given message
\name already definedmeans to me, that in your code or in your used class a wrong command is used:In the current class
moderncvcommand\nameis defined to get two parameters, first and last name. If the other things did not help you should search for this line\newcommand*{\name}[1]{{\namefont#1}}and comment it out.With a current MiKTeX and a current
moderncvcompiling my MWE results without an error usingpdflatex mwe.tex.Another try would be to reinstall MiKTeX (not only install it, afterwards also run the MiKTeX package manager to be sure that all packages are up-to-date. That seem not to be as far as I can see at this moment.
With the given informations I can not say more to help you.
