I'm attempting to test out the use of Hebrew text using XeLaTeX in TeXstudio, with Guy Rutenberg's example code:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Frank Ruehl CLM}
\setmonofont{Miriam Mono CLM}
\setsansfont{Simple CLM}
% Use the following if you only want to change the font for Hebrew
%\newfontfamily\hebrewfont[Script=Hebrew]{David CLM}
%\newfontfamily\hebrewfonttt[Script=Hebrew]{Miriam Mono CLM}
%\newfontfamily\hebrewfontsf[Script=Hebrew]{Simple CLM}

\makeatletter
\makeatother
\usepackage{bidi}
\begin{document}

\end{english}

\begin{english}
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
\end{english}
\end{document}

However, when I compile, I'm prompted for a package installation:

enter image description here

And, when proceeding with this installation, I receive the following error during compilation:

! LaTeX Error: File `xetex.def' not found.Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,or enter new name. (Default extension: def)Enter file name:! Emergency stop.<read > ...d{ver@\Gin@driver}{\input{\Gin@driver}}{}

I've synchronized the MiKTeX Package Manager in both admin and user modes, but this error still persists. Any ideas how to resolve the issue?

Here's a screencap of the xetex.def installation from MiKTeX Package Manager:

    Welcome! Did you get any errors when you installed? Does it show as installed? What does kpsewhich xetex.def give? Don't use the minimal class - it is not suitable, even for minimal examples, as it is not designed for this. You don't need to load fontspec or bidi as polyglossia will do it. – cfr Aug 08 '16 at 01:46
  • Thanks! I didn't get any errors when installing the graphics-def package containing xetex.def, and I've included a screencap of the installation status in an edit above (in case I'm missing something there). I also changed the minimal class to book and commended out the fontspec and bidi packages, but I'm still getting the same prompt to install xetex.def, and then the same message showing the installation failure. – nxl4 Aug 08 '16 at 02:29
  • But does kpsewhich find it? And did you install for user also? Because when you compile, it can't be found. So something is screwy somewhere. – cfr Aug 08 '16 at 03:22
  • Sorry, I misunderstood you. Running kpsewhich xetex.def produces the same prompt I screencapped above from when I try to compile. And, yes, I did install for all users. – nxl4 Aug 08 '16 at 08:58
  • That's odd. It shouldn't give an error or a prompt. It should just return nothing, I think. Unless it is different on MikTeX, which I've never used. – cfr Aug 08 '16 at 15:04

About xetex.def, see previews answer here: Miktex xetex-def package installation.

The following MWE works for me with MacTeX:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{ucharclasses}

\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}

\setmainfont{Frank Ruehl CLM}

\makeatletter
\makeatother
\usepackage{bidi}
