[Tex/LaTex] pgf install error – MiKTeX

installingmiktextikz-pgf

i have this code taken from another question trying to produce a tree:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz-qtree}
\begin{document}
\tikzset{edge from parent/.style=
{draw, edge from parent path={(\tikzparentnode.south)
-- +(0,-8pt)
-| (\tikzchildnode)}}}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\matrix
{
\node{\Tree
    [.Class  \edge[color=white]; 
    [.Order  \edge[color=white];
    [.Family \edge[color=white]; 
    [.Genus ]]]]};
&
\node{\Tree 
 [.{$\gamma$-proteobacteria} 
    [.Alteromonadales 
        [.Alteromonadaceae  {Glaciecola}  Alteromonas Agarivorans ] ]
    [.Vibrionales [.Vibrionacae Vibrio ]]]};\\
};           
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

but when compiling using TeXworks in MiKTeX 2.9 i always get the same error:

can you help me solve this issue, i really need to draw some trees in my thesis…
thank you.

EDIT:
as requested by Alan Munn, i tried to install pgf from the package manager, and received this error at the end of the download process:

MiKTeX Problem Report Message: The operation could not be completed because the following file failed verification: C:\Users\nagi\AppData\Local\Temp\mik2E71.tmp

i tried installing pgf again after some time, but with the same result (error).

Best Answer

Thank you all! With your feedback I was able get this example to run. I googled and installed manually the packages pgf and ms using the package manager. Hope MiKTeX will fix their repositories soon...
