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)

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.zip + first-setup.bat.

Thanks for the quick response. I hope you will check it when possible.


With Thanks,
Derek
