hi, i'm currently running the context beta from 07.07.2008 with the windows minimals from 10.07.2008. all my (quick) tries to update to a later beta version have failed. my main problem is, that luatools.lua doesn't work properly any more; if i start 'luatools --generate' inside eshell (zshell clone?) the program simply hangs (does nothing). if i use the normal dos box with setuptex.bat i get ----- R:\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua>luatools --generate LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin/bin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to r:/tex LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to r:\tex\texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf-context/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache?

i have 'diff-ed' the versions, but couldn't find any obvious flaw. also tested with different luatex binaries. same result.

Did you also try it on cmd.exe? I recall that sometimes windows ruby had problems with file paths in cygwin.
yes, i used the normal cmd.exe shell. no cygwin installed here. sorry for the incorrect naming of the shell (but it's nearly as ugly/limited as old dos).
