Good.

Thanks.

Yes, this means that latex finds the file.

I looked into it.
Now strange thing: latex finds style file but it can't
find font files (TFM). According to 'print.txt' they in distribution,
could you check the following:
1. make sure that you copied distribution files in proper place;
 the above 'kpsewhich' command shows that 'mtpro2.sty' file in
 'C:/TeX/tex/texmf/tex/latex/mtpro2'
 Is 'C:/TeX/tex/texmf' (exactly this directory!) in MiKTeX search path
 (listed under tab 'Roots' in settings app)?
2. make sure that there are TFM files in 'C:/TeX/tex/texmf/fonts/tfm/pctex/mtpro2'

In any case try the following:
1. Remove 'C:/TeX...' directory from 'Roots' (if it doesn't contain
other essential TeX/LaTeX files), remove only from the LIST!, not from
DISK!
2. 
 a) Extract distribution archive to C:\Temp\mtp2 as you do eariler.
 b) Add directory 'C:\Temp\mtp2\texmf' to the list of 'Roots'.
 c) Refresh file name database (FNDB),
 d) add 'map' file to 'updmap.cfg': run
  initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
  and add line 'Map mtpro2.map' to it,
 e) run 
  initexmf --mkmaps
3. Run latex on example file. Now it should find TFM files (font files).

If this would work then you improperly installed MT Pro 2 (I suspect that
latex from MiKTeX finds sty file even in wrong place but font
files must be in proper place).
