Dear syndicate,

As mentioned in my other message, "first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system" I've now switched to the first-setup.bat way of updating. Two pieces of weirdness on the main machine:

1. mtx-context | running command: xetex --ini --etex --8bit cont-en.mkii \dump

makes vista complain:

===================== xetex.exe - Unable to Locate Component

This application has failed to start because xetex.dll was not found. =====================

Pressing OK, xetex crashes and things continue until

2. mtx-context | running command: xetex --ini --etex --8bit cont-nl.mkii \dump

Then the same error occurs.

After xetex crashes things continue briefly till first-setup.bat exits.

Everything works fine, except that every now and then the following happens when I run a file:

===================== This is LuaTeX, Version 0.97.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) system commands enabled. . <*> cont-yes.mkiv ? =====================

A fresh run of first-setup.bat makes the problem go away but it is annoying. After getting even more weirdness when cloning to another machine -- see "first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system" -- it seems appropriate to put this one out to the forum as well.

Any explanations and advice would be appreciated. Never had these problems using when updating manually... Thanks in advance and

if you do a fresh install with --engine=luatex then you'll never run into xetex or pdftex issues as they will not get installed (you get a smaller footprint too) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
