So if you thought this would be useful (actually it may depend on whether an explicit 'mtxrun --generate' after update is necessary what I don't know -

It *is* necessary if some new files appear. The problem was that usually the wrong mtxrun was called which had zero effect since it possibly updated the cache in TeX Live or some other ConTeXt distribution (under another path).

You can try the following: - make sure that there is no tex in your path (set PATH ...) - delete texmf-cache - delete some files (for example context.mkiv and a few random other files) - call first-setup.bat (the modified version that I sent you without an explicit mtxrun --generate) - call setuptex (or manually set PATH) - try to compile some file

The mtxrun --generate at the end of script doesn't really help since already the format generation is broken if some new files arrive.

I updated Ctx yesterday. I installed the new version of Ctx to an empty directory and I checked all TeX-related PATHs to not point to any TL directory (actually, the PATH doesn't point to any TL or Ctx directory - all this is performed by an appropriate batch which is called in the scope and just before compilation of a Ctx source); so I guess all previous auto-generated files and/or cache got unused. I wrote a step-by-step report which I intended to send to you as I was "afraid" that I would have to call 'mtxrun --generate' explicitly. But it was not necessary - I was able to compile a sample Ctx source without any problem "as it was". Not today. Now, if I want to compile a Ctx file, I'm getting: --- MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' --- I know that 'mtxrun --generate' will repair this (as it always did so far). - But I'm wondering about why 'mtxrun' doesn't find the 'context.lua' today although it did yesterday. (I'm aware of cache directory, in my case at 'c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\context\f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c\'. Does Ctx/mxtrun generate also any [temporary] files elsewhere, e.g. in "Document and Settings" or "Application Data" or where TMP/TEMP system variable points?) Could you explain, please?

(I forgot to notice that the computer was powered-off once (= yesterday) and started up again (= today morning). So yesterday, the whole day after the update I was able to compile any Ctx source. Than the computer was powered off. Today the computer was started and when I tried to compile the same Ctx sources, I got "cannot find context.lua nor mtx-context.lua". I had to run "mtxrun --generate" and all started to work again. And it will be all right till the next update.)

No idea. ConTeXt beta didn't change since yesterday at all.

OK. I'll keep on observing and trying to figure out why.

(Yesterday first-setup.bat file was a bit faulty, but now it should be fixed.)

Does first-setup.bat update itself? I mean: several days ago you sent a slightly modified 'first-setup.bat' by e-mail and later you have modified it again. So just to be sure I'm not or I won't be using the "not so perfect" 'first-setup.bat[.txt]'... Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

the only thing i can think is a change in path settings when the computer was on; there is nothing persistent in memory (would be too clever) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

staring at it ... CONTEXTPATH and CONTEXTROOT are used but only one is defined

Thanks a lot for noticing. It was just a typo, fixed (but maybe not yet updated on the server). Mojca
