I'm trying to compile the polyglossia sample file, test-polyglossia-setup.tex, but it's failing with errors like:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.82 \newXeTeXintercharclass
\xpg at normalclass %TODO

and


! LaTeX Error: File `loadingorder-bidi.def' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,

or enter new name. (Default extension: def)


My searches indicate that this was a known problem that was fixed sometime in December, but I've updated everything I can find to update, and I'm still seeing this.  I've tried updating using the Start->MikTeX 2.8->Maintenance (Admin)->Update (Admin) options, and supposedly everything's up to date, but I still get the errors.

Can anyone tell me what files I need to update, where to get them, where to put them, and what commands to use to regenerate formats, etc. after?


You can regenerate formats using the MikTeX Settings Manager (Admin). I needed several rounds of rebuilding the filename database (FNDB, to be done from the same spot) and rebuilding formats to fix this error.
You should enable the XeTeX and XeLaTeX formats in the last section first!

Thanks, Johannes.  I've tried this, but still no joy.  Here's the whole error output, in case that has any clues:
