Mojca, I a hopeless mac user at home now. I used to be pretty good with miktex, even working with hans to test the settings that now exist in the texexec.rme file, back in the days when we made that an .ini file in Miktex. But no longer. It's our school machines I am trying to configure, PC's with Windows XP. I got to a point today where I selected the formats tab in the Miktex Settings gui, and tried to build cont-en there. It objected that it could not find cont-en.ini in tex/something or other so I tried moving cont-en.ini from the context distribution to tex/ something or other and updating the filename database to no avail. I'll give your idea of no spaces a try tomorrow. Meanwhile if you can think of anything less drastic, as I have to do this on 20 different machines, .... Thanks so much. David.

Mojca, I saw your note on blog.miktex.org: If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been removed, you may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7 \miktex\bin with the content: @echo off ruby "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby \texmfstart.rb" "%*" and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C: \Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and generate formats, and everything should work again. Mojca I followed this advice, installed texmfstart.bat, unzipped cont- tmf.zip properly, updated the filename database, then got stuck. At the dos prompt: $ texmfstart --help Worked just fine. However, $ texmfstart texexec --help Did not work. What am I missing? If I recall I'll need to do: $ texmfstart texexec --make --all Or some such thing.
Can you please try what happens if you install MikTeX in some folder with no spaces in base path?
