and so format generation fails because a context.tex in the documentation of circuittikz is found.
ah, interesting; it makes me wonder why the doc search path is consulted in the firstplace (maybe mojca can simulate it on her machine as she did the miktex testing)
I have uninstalled and will try to reinstall MikTeX from scratch once I get to a better internet connection.
But I didn't stumble upon that problem since I didn't install that package. The author of circuittikz will rename his file and hopefully the bug in MikTeX will be fixed.
I would be glad to test, but I can hardly respond if I don't know what is going on or what exactly fails.
I made some more test: context finds really everything in the texmf-trees. I looked a bit at the trace of context and compared it with latex. The only really obvious difference I see is that mtxrun.lua loads a texmf.cnf and a texmcnf.lua. The contents of the cnf is simple: It defines some variables for the roots. E.g. TEXMFLOCAL=J:/MiKTeX2.9 TEXMF={C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/..., .... and some parameters for hash size etc. texmfcnf.lua contains only return { TEXMFCACHE=C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Ulle/Lokale Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/MiKTeX/2.9 } I was wondering a bit if this texmf.cnf resets the pathes but couldn't confirm it. Even replacing it with another texmf.cnf didn't correct the search pathes. (And it is regenerated on-the-fly if I delete it). -- Ulrike Fischer
