My laptop running ubuntu died this evening, so as an interim measure I'm trying to install ConTeXt on a windows machine, using the GUI "ConTeXt minimals" installer. However, after only a few seconds of running, I get two popup errors: "Update Failed: error code: 1", "Make Failed: error code: 1", after which the installation exits. Does anybody know what's going on here, and how I can get it working?

There's a note on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Windows_Installation stating that the installer "seems to be broken (at least in 64-bit Windows7)". Maybe that's the same issue? Stefan On 18.08.2011 14:38, Alasdair McAndrew wrote:

Yes, that seems to be the case - clearly I didn't read far enough!
Thanks very much.

I just made this work for a client. The parts of the manual that are interesting I have attached. This installation takes the assumption you are going to work with MKIV. If you also want to work with MKII you have to install Ruby. If you do not want to work with TeXworks, you can skip the second part. :-D -- Cecil Westerhof
