Did he install the file in his current working directory or somewhere
else?

If it's installed somewhere else, the filename database (ls-R on
Unix, don't know how it's named under MiKTeX) has to be updated.  

Ask him to copy the file to the directory containing his LaTeX files.
This should always work.
