Hello Hans,
run into trouble again... yesterday I've upgraded MikTeX to 2.4,
by the way I've upgraded ConTeXt to the newest version too, but after that I can
texexec nothing more. I first tried some chinese texts, but texexec always
reported:

No pages of output.
then I tried some english texts, they can be compiled, but in fact
nothing has been written to the disk.
before upgrading I've backup-ed the configurations ( texexec.ini,
font-chi.tex, cont-system.tex, cont-usr.tex ) and just after extracting new
files I've put them back, succeeded with "initexmf -u" and a new "texexec
--make", but context just didn't work, though it worked fine before ( with same
test files ). I've never thought it could be such a big problem. after
several unsuccessful tries I decided to restored the old version, but I
even couldn't go back! it seems that context has kept "memory" somewhere
to trace the version changes. after 3 hours tired struggle I've lost all the
patience and all the hope... I've also heared similar stories from
other people, but I just wonder how it could be a trouble to upgrade a
package like context?
Best regards,
Minchao
