Hi Mojca,
I recommend we wait until the issue with executables referenced in my previous post is resolved. We are talking about a problem with texexec.bat, and I have a feeling that texexec.exe may behave differently, once I can execute it. (Tell Hans to test it on Vista, as he seemed to jump to the conclusion that I was using XP).
Hans works on Vista. I tested Taco's executables on Windows 7 and they seem to work ok, but I can confirm that what's currently in distribution is broken on windows. (Which means that Hans either needs to take Taco's executables or completely remove them from distribution and I'll add them in minimals separately.) But then again ... I forgot to test texexec.exe, luatools.exe and mtxrun.exe run just fine. (2GB of ram hardly suffices to run windows inside VM since OSX with Safari alone takes it all, but I'll try to test again later.) I could use ugly patches now to remove the broken executables and replace them with newer ones, but I hope that Hans will fix that issue soon enough.
However, my setups have been transferred directly from my iMac, and the test document compiles using gwTeX and an 18-month old version of Context.
18 months most probably refers to TeX Live 2007 ... the fonts should still work, but anything is possible. There are two easy things to check if the tree is guilty: - either copy everything to current directory - or copy everything to texmf-context and run mktexlrs If it starts working then you may judge the tree structure, else it must be some other problem.
