Thank you for response luigi. The story:

OS = Windows7 professional I also have MikTeX installed which I use routinely for pdfLaTeX and METAPOST from TeXworks

download context-setup-mswin.ziphttp://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip from the wiki unzip to C:\context run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --modules=all add to PATH C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\ run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --keep

Then create tex file \starttext Hello world \stopptext in different location.

Navigate shell to that location and>context firstfile.tex

Result is message context: The Lua script is not registered. context: Data: context

Aha! I tried moving firstfile.tex into C:\context and then run and it works, but takes 11.62 seconds--not so good.

Each run? On my (over 5 years old) machine a Hello world takes less than a second.

However, I still get Lua script not registered when I try to run from other file locations, which makes me think it is PATH problem that I will continue to chase but if anything looks obvious please help.

Can you install the standalone distribution from the garden and see if that one works?
