MiKTeX.
I've done this half a dozen times. This time it doesn't work. I feel stupid. What have I forgotten?
Things were working perfectly. I decide to update, so I download cont-tmf.zip to \localtexmf. Then I unzip, overwritting all the old files. Then I update the database either using mktexlsr or the MiKTeX options wizard.
But now texexec can't find texexec.ini. But it's there, in \localtexmf\context\config (as well as \texmf\context\config)
BTW, if I execute kpsewhich texexec.ini it returns without an error, but also with no information. Is that right?
Yes, and that's the problem. Recent ConTeXts are too strongly tied to fpTeX :\
One thing you can do: move your texexec.ini in the same folder as texexec.pl
Thanks, but that didn't work. I still have a nagging feeling that I'm forgetting something simple. MiKTeX comes with a texexec.exe. Putting texexec.ini in the same directory doesn't do it either. Is there an environment variable that I can set to help texexec find its way? Or a command line switch? (I have not found mention of either in the docs) (Putting texexec.ini in the directory containing the ConTeXt .tex script works.) -gary
