I want to use the listings package, but every time I compile my document in Texmaker I get the following error:
!LaTeX Error: File `listings.sty' not found.
Before this happens Texmaker displays me a window asking me to install listings, but even though I click install, the problem persists.

This error message means the source file needs the package
listings
but the system doesn't have it. MikTeX was designed to be a TeX distribution that can install missing packages automatically, but this feature doesn't work well.Fortunately, you can install packages manually in three steps:
<Win> + R
to open Startup window.mpm
to start MikTeX Package Manager.
