The .sty file is called poliphd.sty. Here are the steps to reproduce the<br>
issue:<br>
1) put poliphd.sty inside C:/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/local/<br>
2) run mktexlsr (it will successfully complete its job)<br>
3) use the poliphd package inside a document and compile it<br>
<br>
here is the error I get<br>

there is no need to run a LaTeX program to see if latex can find it, on the command line run<br>
<br>
kpsewhich poliphd.sty<br>
<br>
and it will return the path to it if found.<br>
