Hi all, I am experiencing some trouble using mswincontext.zip. I have properly installed perl and ruby as the wiki says. (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#Stand-alone_ConTeXt_dist ribution) But when it comes to use cdemo.bat I got:
texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf demo-tex.tex TeXExec | processing document 'demo-tex.tex' TeXExec | provide ctx file TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en TeXExec | progname: context This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5) \write18 enabled. I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! TeXExec | runtime: 2.594 Exit code: 0
I thought this was a "click and go" package installation. I guess I have to do some format creation and all that, but I have nothing TeXy installed (just the mswincontext.zip). What do I need? Thanks in advance, jima
I get exactly the same problem today. I decided to install the latest mswincontext.zip since I hadn't updated for some time. I've never been sure of the update process so I thought this would be the best thing to do. Luckily I still have a an old versine which I installed and worked fine. It's dated 23 september 2005. I have to say I would prefer the most uptodate version with respect to bug fixes etc..

Sorry, this step is missing on Wiki (forgotten). Can you try the following: Open command line (Start->Run->cmd) and do either a) or b): a) "cd" to directory where cdemo.bat resides, execute it and exit (this will set the path for you) b) execute (this should be in one line): C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex (change "C:\Programs\context" to the proper folder) Then execute texexec --make --all The last one is the crucial step for making formats. Perhaps "making formats" should be present in menu in Scite (perhaps it already is, I can't check from here). Mojca
Hi, thanks ! that did it for me... I did (a) and then (b) :) Here is the sequence I used (assuming C:\Programs\context) Start->Run->cmd cd C:\Programs\context cdemo.bat Then I closed the SciTe thing but I remained in the cmd. Then, in one line as Mojca says: C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex And texexec --make --all Then I closed the cmd, started by double click the cdemo.bat and voila !

there is also a colsole in scite itself (just key in texexec --make --all in the log pane) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
