I recently updated MiKTeX and I can't compile anymore xelatex through Texmaker simple multilingual tex e.g.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{xltxtra} \usepackage{xgreek} \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Times New Roman} \begin{document} Hello world Χαίρε κόσμε \end{document} obtaining errors concerning expl3.sty
I read a lot of solutions in various places and to be frank I got rather confused. I removed MiKTeX and installed TeX Live instead but the problem persists.
The error part of my logfile is:

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the problem is still there...
MikTex shows that "no updates available" There is just an expl3.sty file inside the l3kernel folder. I can't find it directly from TexLive Manager (just as a filename inside the l3kernel package)
