Hi all, I use the XeTeX/ConTeXt MkII combi as part of another application. This (Windows) application is installed in the C:\Program Files tree which apparently is marked 'read only' in Vista/Windows 7. Would it be possible to redirect the temp files (*.top, *tui, *.log, *.mp) to a different folder outside C:\Program Files\ ? Texexec.rb comes with an option --tempdir= but that doesn't work. Thanks, Jelle

why not just run in c:\temp or so 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Because I have the ConTeXt application in a subdirectory of the main application directory and I don't want to mess around on some else's computer. Running in c:\temp means that I would have to copy the ConTeXt tree to c:\temp, right? Does it stay there or is c:\temp emptied every so often? (which would mean that I have to copy the whole ConTeXt tree to c:\temp again...) Does this suggestion mean that just setting a tempdir doesn't work (with texexec)? No Hans-trick somewhere? Jelle

maybe texmfstart --path=path-where-you-want-to-run texexec .... --path= 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
