I've used LaTeX for years, but I'm trying to work with ConTeXt now on a Win7 PC that has already had MikTeX 2.9 installed. I've downloaded the minimal ZIP file, unpacked it and run the first_setup.bat file. (Note, I don't have Ruby installed yet, so I can't use pdfTeX, but I assume some other build is available.) Then I opened TeXworks, created a ConTeXt typesetting option, entered a helloworld.tex program, and tried to ConTeXt it. However, I just get these messages: MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: skipping configuration file 'C:/Users/peterd/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' (no file) MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Any clues available? Thanks! -pd

Will you tell us anything about the settings you made in TeXworks? Did you try to run "context" on the command line? (GUI setup is an additional complication) This
MTXrun | resolvers: skipping configuration file 'C:/Users/peterd/ AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' (no file) looks like there's MiKTeX in your (TeXwork's) PATH, but not ConTeXt's binaries.

In the last tab of settings in TeXworks you should be able to adjust paths. Simply add the path to [context root]/texmf-mswin/bin to that list and put it on top. However note that if you will want to use LaTeX again, you will have to put that path lower than MikTeX's binary path again. Apart from that: ConTeXt should work under MikTeX 2.9 out of the bo.x (I reported some problems to CS; I have no idea if he fixed them, but all of them were solvable even without official fix of MikTeX, but I didn't try the latest version, I only tested the beta.)

That fixed it. Thanks!

I'm trying to shake out a workflow that will eventually be put on systems that don't have MikTeX pre-installed, so I'd like to keep everything dependent only on the minimal installation. Thank you. -pd

You do not have to install Context minimal separately. Just run the package manager and select Context and install. Context will work without any problems. Emmanuel
