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 !

Thanks !

jima

Hi all,

I am experiencing some trouble using mswincontext.zip.

I have properly installed perl and ruby as the wiki says.

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?

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).

And me to! Thanks!

Would some kind soul care to write up on the Wiki the best way to update the windows stand alone version? Please.

Not quite.

I will try to edit the wiki myself later on.

If not able I will post the message on this list that I think could be it, so anyone with permissions can do it.
