Hi, I normally use linux, but I now need to install context on Windows (7). Right now the minimals installation fails for me in various ways, depending on how I do it. Running the graphical installer I get two dialogs "update failed error code 1" and "make failed error code 1". Using the command line method I get a message about a vtable error when I try to run context. (It looked like the one mentioned in earlier postings, sorry I don't have the exact message now). I want just MKIV + extras (and intend to try TexWorks). Any hints appreciated. Thanks, -- John Devereux

Does it help if you re-download the zip (for the command-line approach)? Mojca

I tried that. But I tried it again, and got something different for some reason, the "unknown script context.lua..." message. After a few attempts it looks like for me I need to initialise with a plain: tex\setuptex.bat (as per wiki) rather than c:\context\tex\setuptex.bat c:\context\tex (Which is what I was told to do by first-setup.bat) And then it is working!
