[Tex/LaTex] Style file elsarticle-num-names can’t be opened

bibtexelsarticle

I am compiling my .tex document with TexMaker and the bib style is

\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num-names.bst}

and I get the following error which I don't know what to do with

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 2.9.6600 64-bit) The top-level
auxiliary file: test.aux I couldn't open style file
elsarticle-num-names.bst.bst —line 269 of file test.aux :
\bibstyle{elsarticle-num-names.bst : } I'm skipping whatever remains
of this command I found no style file—while reading file
test.aux (There were 2 error messages)

Can someone offer suggestions to solve this?

The \bibliographystyle already includes the .bst extension, you don't have to inform it.

Notice the double extension in the error:

couldn't open style file elsarticle-num-names.bst.bst

Use only:

\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num-names}

use this test file and also controll that your bibfile is readable and in the correct subdirectory. What happens?

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{biblio/1755988}

\end{document}

The error message tells you that BibTeX couldn't find the splncs.bst bibliography style file. This may be either because the file isn't present at all or because it was stored in a directory that's not searched by BibTeX. The easiest remedy, for now, may be to store the bib style in the directory where your main tex file is located.

Incidentally, you should leave off the ".bib" extension in the argument of \bibliography, i.e., you should write

\bibliography{typeinst}
