Hello. I need ConTeXt Mark IV environment on a USB stick because I don´t have administrative rights over the computer. The operating system is windows. I downloaded MiKTex 2.9 portable (Texworks) and ConTeXt package but I can not get it run. I've searched on the web how configurate Texworks but I did not find a manual. Could you help me? Thanks.

Somebody would have to test, but one thing that is sure is that at every location where you plan to put the USB stick you will have to run "luatools --generate" and "context --make" before compiling the document. This has been fixed recently, but is not part of MikTeX yet. Where exactly do you get stuck? Mojca

Oops ... no more answers? And an alternative to MiKTeX Portable?

This means that you are most probably running plain TeX or LaTeX. In front of the typset (play) button there is an engine drop-down menu where you have to select ConTeXt. But the problem is that with portable MikTeX, you will have to run luatools --generate context --make in command line manually (or do some other trickery in texworks, but anything else is probably more tricky to do than to open cmd and type the commands from there). Fixing this would require changes that Hans is most likely not willing to work on since it is an old version of ConTeXt. Mojca

In the engine drop-down menu (typeset button) there is no option ConTeXt. Needed configure texworks... How?
