Hi, by coincidence I installed ConTeXt on an XP-Windows today. What I did is: 1. Download the http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip 2. Unpack the zip. 3. run first-setup.bat 4. Added the texmf-fonts-folder and the texmf-project folder from the MacOsX installation. 5. run yourpath/setuptex.bat yourpath/tex/ 6. context --generate 7. context --make And it works. I use Scite under Windows and I have no exp. with TeXworks. The problem there is to learn TeXworks to use the minimals. Wscite was already there on the windows box. Because I did not use this for a long time I copied the *.properties files from /texmf-context/context/config/data/scite to the home directory of the user and placed the *.lua file in the wscite directory. It keeps working without any struggle. Willi On 12 Aug 2011, at 17:14, Cecil Westerhof wrote:
I like to install ConTeXt on a Windows (XP) machine (so I can make an installation manual). I use: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Installation_and_use_on_Win...
The preferable setup would be with the GUI. But when I do this. I get: update failed Error code: 1 and Make failed Error code: 1
What is happening here?
I also tried (in c:\context): first-setup.bat --context=current
This looks okay, but when running context I get: mtxrun | forcing cache reload resolvers | resolving | unknown configuration file 'c:/contextminimal/texm f-local/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | unknown configuration file 'c:/contextminimal/texm f-context/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | unknown configuration file 'c:/contextminimal/texm f/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'c:/contextminimal/texmf' (runtim e) resolvers | methods | resolver: method=locators, how=uri, scheme=file, arg ument=c:/contextminimal/texmf resolvers | files | file locator 'c:/contextminimal/texmf' not found resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-local' ( runtime) resolvers | methods | resolver: method=locators, how=uri, scheme=file, arg ument=c:/contextminimal/texmf-local resolvers | files | file locator 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-local' not found

So it looks like the script first-setup.bat needs some finetuning. The script context expects a file: c:/contextminimal/texmf-local/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' there is a directory: C:\context\tex\texmf-local but this directory is empty.
Is the script wrong, or am I doing something wrong? Under Linux I did not have a problem.
