Hi all (esp. windows users),

Last night I tried setting up a Win98SE for use with context using mswincontext.zip (I borrowed a laptop for bachotek, so I could not install linux on it ... ).

It went terribly wrong. At first I thought it was just the shoddy Win98 install on that machine, but Olivier tells me he also had problems installing the latest mswincontext, so I hope another someone who uses Windows98 can testrun the installation.

I got all sort of errors from command.com (syntax error, out of environment space, command not found, permission denied), and the wiki page is definately incomplete so I could not really debug. In the end, I basically gave up.

Cheers, taco

After update with 2006-04-24 mswincontext & cont-tmf versions, i was unable to compile anything. Everything went fine with previous updates, so I decided to follow exactly wiki method for a Stand-alone ConTeXt distribution : same end.

From what i see in scite compilation panel : (new)texexec is unable to find cont-en.fmt

As a good end user, I'm unable to investigate more, but obviously wait for an answer/update. (hopefully, i can borrow another xp box for continuing job) Thanks -- olivier Turlier CRP La Rouguière 101 Bd des Libérateurs 13367 Marseille cedex 11 tel : (33) 04 91 66 58 10 fax : (33) 04 91 45 14 48

Hi Taco, Although I do not have a recent version installed on my box at work. When I installed mswincontext on that box, which is a 98 Windows, I had to install also 4DOS. This solved the problem with the environment. 4DOS for Windows 98 is free of charge in the meantime: http://jpsoft.com/download.html Hm, I hope this helps Willi Taco Hoekwater wrote:

C windows 98 has limitation on the env space; the way to get around it is to (1) define a larger value in the comspec (config.sys if i'm right) or to enlarge the value in the associated dos box

anyhow, forget about windows 98, just as you forget about suse 2.0 or a linux 0.5 kernel or mac system 9 Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
