Problems with the installation of the minimals on Win XP :-(
Hi, after solving my problems with the minimals with Linux, I have now a problem with the Windows version. :-( My boss allowed me to use ConTeXt for a book project :-), unfortunately we work here with WinXP and the first-setup.bat fails with the following error: mtxrun.exe – Komponente nicht gefunden (mtxrun.exe – component not found) Die Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil kpathsea60071.dll nicht gefunden wurde. Neuinstallation der Anwendung könnte das Problem beheben. (Couldn’t start the application. Couldn’t found kpathsea60071.dll. A new installation of the application could solve the problem.) I have installed ruby first. What could be wrong? Greetings Florian Baudach

It seems that the new luatex binary now depends on kpathsea60071.dll (in past it was only XeTeX that depended on that dll). It's not confirmed, but I checked and http://w32tex.org/current/luatex-dev-w32.tar.bz2 does contain that dll. I'm fixing it now. Mojca
I had the same problem trying to update Context with 'first-setup.bat'. I
saw that there was a file kpathsea60071.dll in context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin.
So then I copied it to context/bin and it worked again.

I solved it, but I think in a very ugly way:
1. I downloaded the kpathsea60071.dll via http and copied the file to
/context/bin
2. I downloaded also curl.exe (Don't know if it was necessary :-( )
3. The I got the errors: MSVCP71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL not found
4. I searched for this files and found them fortunately on my work pc (It is
not recommanded to download this file in the internet! )
5. I copied this files to /context/bin
6. I commented the rsync part of the installation script (Don't know if it
was necessary ? )
7. Started the modified script.
8. ConteXt works now :-).

In theory that file should be in the new setup zip now, even though it is true that these files do not get updated under windows (one cannot "selfupdate" binaries under windows, so updating should become a two-step process).
2. I downloaded also curl.exe (Don't know if it was necessary :-( )
It shouldn't be, but I have no idea what exactly/what else was going wrong.
3. The I got the errors: MSVCP71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL not found
Just a question: are these two files related to Windows 7 and absent on Windows XP? Do we need to add them to minimals then?
4. I searched for this files and found them fortunately on my work pc (It is not recommanded to download this file in the internet! ) 5. I copied this files to /context/bin 6. I commented the rsync part of the installation script (Don't know if it was necessary ? ) 7. Started the modified script. 8. ConteXt works now :-).
I cannot comment too much about the rest; my only question at the moment is: do we need to add the two DLL files for non-windows7 users? I added Akira to CC since he probably knows the requirements better than I do (and I have no XP at hand). Mojca

Akira replied that the two files are present in xetex-w32.tar.bz2 (on w32tex.org). If needed, we can add them to the zip for installation (it is probably also needed for runtime files then, not only for installation, right?). Is there any other user with the same experience? Mojca

Yes, missing MSVCP71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL on windows xp and windows 7.

It should be fixed now. (At least for those who don't install luatex-only minimals.) I'm sorry, I added the libraries, but forgot to add them to installer itself. Mojca
