btw, I think Windows users are not command line experts. I think the minimal installer can add more options. for example, which distribution to choose (MKIV or XeTeX or pdfTeX),

Isn't that available already? (No windows to test.)

which fonts to be download (TeXGyre, Kurier, Iwona...) according to the distribution

We need to split fonts first.

(in MKIV and XeTeX, download otf, otherwise download type1 format).

That's already working (should be at least).

and if the user download MKII version, we should automatically check ruby, if not present, install it for the user.

Installer has just been fixed two days ago or so. It's a good thing that we already get bug reports/feature requests :) :) :) We're also collecting them on https://launchpad.net/context Installing ruby is something that's up to Vyatcheslav to implement. Mojca

Hi,

For automatic environment setup, I think there are two values should be changed for better directory support:

TEXMFCNF --> ...\texmf\web2c (why did it find texmf-local/context on my machine ?) TEXMF ---> {...} // add values like texmf-fonts, texmf-project, texmf-extra, etc. defined in setuptex.bat.

Vyatcheslav?
