i think it could be of interest to others since it would help to make an up-to-date installation instruction. many google results seem outdated and even on contextgarden there are multiple installation instructions that in the end don't help me with my problems... ok, so i searched around on contextgarden but i don't know where to add an entry... what do you mean exactly? the ConTeXt group http://group.contextgarden.net/ or rather something different?

Hi Sebastian, no, I guess he meant: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page. This is the wiki. Registration is required. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hello Sebastian, This mailing list is very active, with both advanced as well as basic questions. In fact, even experienced users can still ask basic questions. It appears that you have managed to download the Standalone on Windows. Keep at it! (and don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't find the answers on the wiki, in the documentation, or on this list). Alan
