Hi Upendran, Though i am not a MIKTeX user your error file sounds like you did not create the format files after updating ConTeXt. So you should run e.g. texexec --make en mptopdf metafun For the sake of being sure run the MIKTeX tool for updating its database. In your error log there is also a message concerning the format path. Please make shure that this path (which was modified in recent versions of ConTeXt) is known to MIKTeX. Also there is a message on fixing the pfttex executable. I guess that this is not set correctly in you MIKTeX installation. Willi piskala upendran wrote:

can you try texmfstart newtexexec --make --all and see if that works better? i want to make newtexexec working ok with miktex without needs for config files and such (willy, do you have miktex on your machine so that we can have a look at it this weekend?)

What do you mean by database generator? MikTeX is available on http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/. I don't know what format .cab is, I open it with Total Commander, but just in case you have problems accessing them, I'm sending a zip file (off-list) for miktex-metapost-base.cab, miktex-metapost-bin.cab, miktex-pdfetex.cab and miktex-config.cab.

Hi, upendran May be you can try the "stand-alone CONTEXTediting environment (windows)" which can be download from http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswincontext.zip. I think it is easier to setup, easy to use, and easy to upgrade :-) Xiao Jianfeng

It also says somewhere in your log:
