just download the windows zip file from our website and install that one in a separate tree, e.g. under

c:\context

then, you can initialize that tree with

c:\context\setuptex c:\context

and voila ...

Ok, I followed the above. Now I have two trees, c:\TeXLive and c:\ConTeXt Issues: 1. I ``initialized'' the \ConTeXt tree and ran texexec --make but no aleph format, so a batch file is called: cd C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c aleph --ini *plain \dump texexec --make en -tex=aleph aleph --ini *cont-en but... C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c>aleph --ini *plain \dump ! aleph.pool doesn't match; otangle me again (or fix the path). How do I get aleph working? 2. How do I get my OS to recognize/prioritize the C:\ConTeXt tree (when I call texexec from my editor it still calls from c:\TeXLive)? Do I have to uninstall ConTeXt from my c:\TeXLive path? What is the cleanest way to do that? 3. I presume that \ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf is the one texexec --make uses. Have you already optimized/tested \ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf for aleph (there were a few issues as you may recall...)?
