Mark,
    To be sure and get all the pieces, go to
http://www.ldraw.org/download/updates/complete.exe
This is the download that has all the pieces in it.
One you have it, run it from whatever directory is the root for your ldraw
directory.  (ex: Ldraw is in c:\ldraw, so run it from c:\)

This points out what is probably a common error:  running the parts updates
from c:\ldraw.  If you did this, you will find a directory called
c:\ldraw\ldraw\parts with a bunch of parts in it.  Makelist won't find these
parts.

One thing I do to handle this problem, is to download the update file to my
Windows Desktop.  I double-click the file to expand the files, then use Explorer
to drag the newly-created Ldraw folder into the right position.

This also makes it easier to browse the files in the update, looking for
important notices (which typically are written to ldraw\models), and any other
interesting bits.
