Are the binaries in C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin or C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin? That is - with or without tex? The information above is a bit confusing. What does mtxrun --generate return you? Apart from that - you are welcome to test if ConTeXt works fine on MikTeX (2.9). Mojca

In the path the first entry is PATH=C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin; That is, then 'with tex.'

It continues to work just fine on my TeXLive 2010 installation, but I don't think it ever worked on MikTeX 2.8 (the version I have installed). I'm quite puzzled why a fresh installation (twice now) gives exactly the same result. Tom.

Did you by any chance set the variable TEXMF in your environment? I guess not, but in my case both TEMF and TEXMFCNF are empty. In your case they are both set wrong. What else do you have in C:\ConTeXt\ besides "bin", "tex", "first-setup.bat" and "status-of-update.lua"? Mojca

After much ado, I finally got everything working again. I deleted everything (as usual), and then simplified my PATH (removing Cygwin and MikTeX, among others), cleaned up my environment variables ... and did a fresh install. I got a cramp from having my fingers crossed the whole time, but a functional ConTeXt came out at the end. Now, back to work! Thanks everyone for your help. Tom.
