1) Why we need to set almost all in setuptex.bat, while the same vars (except Windows' PATH) are already set in texmf.cnf? well, this is not recent, but has aways been the case; in setuptex i make sure that no conflicts can arise between different trees; so one can have multiple trees installed, without clashed; you don't wanna know what can happen (and how much time it costs to find out and fix) if some installer has set variables at the outer shell level; i just don't want to take any risk here

So what environment variables can I set globally to avoid the need for running setuptex.bat? My first guess is:

OSFONTDIR=%SystemRoot%\fonts

if you want to use platform fonts indeed

SETUPTEX=done CTXMINIMAL=yes

not if setuptex is not used

TEXPATH=C:\...<whatever the path is>...\context\tex\ TEXMFMAIN=%TEXPATH%\texmf

TEXMFOS=%TEXPATH%\texmf-mswin TEXMFPROJECT=%TEXPATH%\texmf-project TEXMFFONTS=%TEXPATH%\texmf-fonts TEXMFLOCAL=%TEXPATH%\texmf-local TEXMFEXTRA=%TEXPATH%\texmf-extra

depends on your trees

TEXMFCNF=%TEXPATH%\texmf{-local,}\web2c

handy indeed

TEXPOOL=%TEXMFOS%/web2c\{$engine,}

not for luatex/xetex

TEXFORMATS=%TEXMFOS%\web2c\{$engine,}

not for luatex

MPMEMS=%TEXMFOS%\web2c\{$engine,}

depends

MPPOOL=%TEXMFOS%\web2c\{$engine,}

not needed any more

Path=%TEXMFOS%\BIN;%Path%

sure

TEXMFCACHE=%TEMP%

yes or use the defaults

VARTEXMF=%TEXMFCACHE%\texmf-var

not really used

TEXMF={$TEXMFOS,$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

yes

TEXMFDBS=$TEXMF

dependes on kpse version i think

RUBYLIB=%TEXMFLOCAL%\SCRIPTS\CONTEXT\RUBY;
