Hi, Looks like the are problems with my installer and I'm not aware of. Alasdair McAndrew, can we collaborate on this issue (since I don't have Win7 64 bit to do tests?) -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

I had the same problem. I was told it was broken for a few years. -- Cecil Westerhof

I removed the installer from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/ because so many people complained about it being non-functional. It is even more problematic: they try the installer, it doesn't work, but the path remains set, so consequently not even their normal distribution works. The installer is still accessible in SVN repository: http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/installer Once it starts working again, I will put it back online. Now you have more motivation to fix it faster :) (And yes, some links on wiki are broken now. But now people get broken link, else they would get broken installer.) Mojca

Well, I've now got linux reinstalled, so I no longer need Windows. (Huge sigh of relief.) Sorry about the anguished initial email! -Alasdair On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 11:17 AM, Mojca Miklavec < mojca.miklavec.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
