Having trouble with MikTex and fonts for custom package, missing file

Question

I'm trying to get a custom document class working on a Windows PC where I do not have administrative rights. MikTex can't access its package repository, and so far I've been forced to install a large amount of packages by hand which is really time consuming.

Now, when I try to compile my document, I run into this bug:

Command Line:   pdflatex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --synctex=-1 "main.tex"
Startup Folder: C:\Users\x\Downloads\rtthesisex-exjobb\rtthesisex

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9)

I have no idea how to fix this manually. I have tried reinstalling the package, but there are no .cfg files included in kpfonts. Does anyone have another idea?

You don't need to install everything by hand. Create a local repository. You need the two miktex-zz...-files and the miktex packages you want to install. Put everything in some folder and then use this folder. For details see e.g. MiKTeX: [...] does not seem to be a local package repository.

Ignore the message about a .cfg file. maketfm is looking for it as a last resort. The real problem is the missing .tfm file. You probably put it in the wrong place. All the .fd files are in the wrong folder too: They belong in tex\latex\kpfonts.
