Some defaults from my old MiKTeX .ini file (local-texmf/scripts/perl/ texexec.ini) I can't test this as I have defected to a saner platform :-) enable variable miktex at top of file and some variation of this below. for miktex set UsedInterfaces to en, uk for miktex set UserInterface to uk for miktex set TeXExecutable to pdfetex.exe for miktex set TeXVirginFlag to -initialize for miktex set TeXBatchFlag to -interaction=batchmode for miktex set TeXFormatFlag to & for miktex set MpToTeXExecutable to mptotex.exe for miktex set MpVirginFlag to -initialize for miktex set MpPassString to for miktex set MpBatchFlag to -interaction=batchmode for miktex set MpFormat to metafun for miktex set MpFormatFlag to -undump= for miktex set TeXFormatPath to "d:\local-texmf\miktex\fmt\" for miktex set ConTeXtPath to "d:\local-texmf\tex\context\base\" for miktex set SetupPath to "c:\Progra~1\MiKTeX\miktek\base\" for miktex set TeXScriptsPath to "d:\local-texmf\scripts\context \perl\" for miktex set TeXProgramPath to "c:\Progra~1\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\" Also mptopdf will not work unless you set the TEXSYSTEM environment variable to "miktex" as on ContextGarden. Also it occurs to me that texexec will not recognise test.txt, but will expect test and add .tex itself. Don't forget to update fndb at every opportunity from MikTeX's management app. Christopher

Hi, I'm attempting to install context under miktex 2.4. I've updated the format files and followed other instructions as per the contextgarden discussions. I'm probably missing something really obvious and would appreciate any help offered. I receive this output when running the following commands: << texexec test.txt
Are you sure your tex file has extension txt? Your output is precisely what you get when texexec cannot find the input file, so I am a bit suspicious that that may be the problem.
For the warnings: You need to tell texexec that you are running miktex, but I do not know how precisely that is done (I use tetex)
