Hi everybody,

I would like to be able to use a ConTeXt Standalone on a computer with WinXP Pro and no internet connection and no administrative rights.

Isn't it possible to install on a different computer (let's say c:\context) and then move that to the same directory on the other computer?

I'm really interested in knowing whether this works, since I must first ask to a friend to be able to install ConTeXt on her computer to be able to use it on the computer I want. I'm on Linux myself.

You can install the minimals (for windows) on a pendrive with Wine. This way I had no problem accessing my university’s Adobe fonts at public computers in the library. All I had was a restricted user account and cmd.exe. I used to work flawlessly (until they disabled the terminal when they did a global upgrade to win7).

Does first-setup support --platform=all? That way, you don't need wine to create a USB drive with binaries for windows (and all linux architectures). Aditya
