similar failure:

no loop, just a missing file ... i have no clue

The environment variables "HOME" and "HOME.ORG" are not predefined in a windows shell. Just enter "env" and see what is available. You can easily add "HOME" with this tool. A restart is required on older Windows OS (XP)! http://redmondlab.reachby.com/g2gz5/redmond-path-v-1-0 Peter

Hello, I solved the problem. I was "requiring" a Lua .dll at some place in Ctx \s...luacode, namely LuaXml_Lib.dll. I didn't realize that Ctx found the lib, but that have been compiled for Lua 5.1. So, with my "ancient" Ctx version (5/2012, which I've been using often so far), all worked well as LuaXml_Lib was compatible with that version of Ctx. Once I tried the latest Ctx beta, there was a failure; and it appeared like "cannot locate file ... " error. I built a Lua 5.2 version of LuaXml_Lib and all works well now with the latest Ctx. - If some interested why I'm using LuaXml_Lib with Ctx, when Ctx provides its own XML API, the reason is that I often save Excel tables as "Excel XML table" to allow Lua scripts access them, especially I'm using Excel "named regions/variables" which are later transformed into Lua tables. I need an independent XML tool for this; LuaXML_Lib (http://viremo.eludi.net/LuaXML) does the job. And also I need to do similar things with Ctx; thus I need LuaXML_Lib to be accessible from within Ctx. - Question: when is Ctx supposed to adopt Lua 5.3?

It will take a while as

- 5.3 it's not yet official - then 5.3 needs to become stable - we need to test implications of the new number system - tests have shows it's a slightly slower

Maybe there's nothing to gain from a move to 5.3, apart from keeping up with general Lua. If we make the switch it will first be tested quite a while in production before it leaves beta.

OK. Did you think about Ctx be able to use more Lua versions? Similar like "--jit" forces LuaJIT instead of Lua; "--lua52" would force Lua 5.2 instead Lua 5.3+ once Lua 5.3+ is adopted into Ctx core (and supposing Ctx won't use any Lua 5.3+ extras). Best regards, Lukas
