Context Minimal for Windows installer
Hello, I appreciate your efforts of creating "context-setup-mswin", but I always had my own way of setting up Context. Today I created full-weight InnoSetup installer. My installer is native Windows application. It fetches files from contextgarden using rsync, then sets variables directly in registry, making Context binaries Windows-wide functional. (Call texexec from any application without need of setuptex.bat file). http://rapidshare.com/files/70450795/ContextMinimalSetup.exe I have tested it only with Luatex engine, but other may work as well. Hope it will facilitate Context usage on Windows. Fell free to ask questions and make suggestions. Best regards, Vaytcheslav Yatskovsky

Congratulations!

What files exactly are downloaded? just mswincontext.zip? What are the installation options? It would be a good idea to add pdftex and xetex formats options as well.
