I wouldn't have followed the advice to change the path, as I'm using MikTeX too and I know that the path settings might interfer. The command prompt is fine, I can Alt-Tab out of my editor and compile a tex file - that's not too inconvenient. Compiling a test document actually works, it scanned through the fonts and finished without errors, even with \usemodule[tikz]. Actually using tikz did not work first, but I installed the module and now it works. And nobody commented the kpathsea601.dll copy!? Regards Christoph On 27.04.2011 20:12, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

depends on how you run tex ... you can try to add the .../tex/texmf-mswin/bin path to your global PATH variable
If you have another tex installation (Miktex, Texlive), don't do this.
alternatively you can open a cmd prompt and run setuptex (in ../tex) to initialize the path
First test if this method works. More precisely, run
Path-to-context\tex\setuptex
and then compile a test document using
context test
If you want to run from an editor (take scite as example, description on wiki) you need to make sure that mtxrun.exe can be found
I would suggest that you first try the command line method. It is much easier to debug if something goes wrong.
