I added lang-cjk (replaces lang-chi and lang-jap for mkiv) wich still lacks korean labels. The conversion code from font-chi has been integrated in mkiv.

lang-cjk is not included in the zip.

hm, i hope i fixed it

It still works for me. You are still using ruby 1.8, I assume?

Yes.

TeXExec | unable to make format due to lack of permissions

Also, it seems that sometimes you get that when you are creating the formats from within a wrong starting directory. Can you try from e.g.  C:\Temp ?

I have had this "due to lack of permissions" happen to me on various  occasions also, but I've never been able to pinpoint the exact cause.

I use Hans's context/install/mswincontext.zip and upgrade context using the first-setup.sh inside that file. It works fine during the last few months. however, today the problem appears. I didn't change anything. so strange.

Best wishes, Taco
