Re: [NTG-context] Installing ConTeXt in Windows (XP)

Hi Cecil just out of curiosity I installed TeXWorks under Windows (XP). In order to let TeXWorks use the minimals one needs to set things up. 1. create a batch file e.g. TW-context.bat with the following content: call c:\context\tex\setuptex.bat c:\context\tex context "%~dpn1.tex" I saved the file in the Owners folder. Of course the path in the call statement must reflect the situation on your machine. 2 Start TeXWorks 3 Open under 'Edit' 'Preferences' and there the tab 'Typeseting' 4 Add in the top window with plus the path to the batch-file e.g. C:/Documents and Settings/Owner 5 Add with + in the processing tools window a new entry, fill the configuration screen in: Name: e.g. ContextMKIV 6 Fill the Programme: (easiest with the Browse button) C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/TW-context.bat 7 Add with + an new argument and fill in $basename 8 Click the checkbox to have TW showing the generated pdf 9 Click OK 10 Change the default tool to be used to ContextMKIV 11 Click OK and you are done!

That does the same as where I had a problem with.

The manager wants to close for the weekend. So I'll have to try Willi's solution when I am home. (There I have Vista I think -I almost never work at home with Windows-, but I hope that what work in Vista, will work in XP also.)
