I just tried to install context minimals on Windows. I have ruby and

!!!!: Your luatex binary is way too old, you need at least version 0.42.
Does this happen during update (first-update.bat) or during format generation?
No, not that I can notice. (first-setup.bat and context --generate, context --make don't show any errors.)
If it happens during format generation it could be due to "chicken-and-egg problem" (luatex cannot update itself). There is texlua.exe in bin/ and luatex.exe in tex/texmf-mswin/bin. Can you try to run both separately (luatex --version and texlua --version) and check their versions?
C:\contextminimal>bin\texlua.exe --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009081408 (Web2C 2009) luatex.web >= v14240
C:\contextminimal>tex\texmf-mswin\bin\luatex.exe --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009081408 (Web2C 2009) luatex.web >= v14240
One possibility to resolve the problem is to fetch a fresh copy of http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip and
I downloaded it less than 2 hours back. I even tried over-writing(after running first-setup.bat but the version of texlua.exe in the above file is beta-0.40.6…
It's not about overwritting luatex.exe, but luatex.dll.
I know, I meant overwriting both the files and executing texlua.exe ( Sorry I was a bit ambiguous)
overwrite the old "bin" folder, or just replace http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/mswin/bin/luatex.dll.
Tried that too… I wonder if its just me :-/
The weird thing is that http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/mswin/bin/ shows the date of luatex.dll to be 14th August (I cannot try right now what version that is, but it cannot be too old).
If it helps, I tried the GUI installer with the stable branch first. Got the too old binary error and re-ran the GUI installer with the beta branch. But it made no difference so started afresh(deleted contextminimals folder, and used the context-setup-mswin.ziphttp://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip+ first-setup.bat. Thanks for the quick response. I hope you will check it when possible.
