When compiling this code \usemodule[pgf] \starttext test \stoptext I get an error:

The latex pendant (even with a tikz picture in it) compiles fine. I have another computer with an older version of pgf, which works well (with context and with latex). After an update to 2.10, context stopped working, latex still does. Is anyone else encountering this problem? Regards, Christoph

I tried to install and run the minimals on a win xp machine (a few days ago), but failed. I'll try it again and report the results. Christoph Am 26.04.2011 14:22, schrieb Hans Hagen:

Can you try with the latest beta rather than stable, that is just run first-setup.bat
+ make format files - don't set environment variables (have MikTeX 2.9 on this machine as well)
Errors during installation: Update failed Error Code: 1
Make failed Error Code: 1
Now the installation directory does not contain any binary named context, there's also no setuptex.bat. I need that perform the next step according to the installation and usage instructions in the wiki.
That is really strange. The setup script should not delete the installation directory. Can you provide details of what commands you ran and the detailed output. Which version of Windows are you using? Aditya

I'll try the latest beta later today. However, your advice to "just run first-setup.bat" must refer to the zipped version of the minimals, not the gui installer.

For the gui installer, I provided what I could. I clicked "Next" and "Finish" where I could, but the options I used are included in my last post. Is it possible that you mixed up the command line installation and the gui variant?
Which version of Windows are you using?
I am using windows xp. Regards Christoph

Yes I did mix the two up. I re-read your last post again. I don't know why you get the missing kpathsea600.dll error message. The bin directory actually contains kpathsea601.dll. Aditya

In that case, the solution should boil down to making the binary use kpathsea601.dll, shouldn't it? I can also try renaming the existing dll to kpathsea600.dll or making a copy of it with the expected name. Regards Christoph Am 27.04.2011 10:24, schrieb Aditya Mahajan:

I'm currently installing the minimals (again) using the command line. I unzipped the contents of the zip file to a directory (without spaces) and started first-setup.bat (no argument, so I'm getting the current beta?). It is now going through a list of font files (that's what I see in the window) and in the meantime I made a copy of kpathsea601.dll in the bin directory and renamed it to kpathsea600.dll. I'm still waiting for something to happen... It finished without errors! Running setuptex.bat throws no message at all, I suppose this means that it finished successfully. What's next? I don't want to break anything by just trying to "use" context, I'm afraid of skipping something important now. Regards Christoph On 27.04.2011 10:24, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

depends on how you run tex ... you can try to add the .../tex/texmf-mswin/bin path to your global PATH variable alternatively you can open a cmd prompt and run setuptex (in ../tex) to initialize the path If you want to run from an editor (take scite as example, description on wiki) you need to make sure that mtxrun.exe can be found Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

If you have another tex installation (Miktex, Texlive), don't do this.
alternatively you can open a cmd prompt and run setuptex (in ../tex) to initialize the path
First test if this method works. More precisely, run Path-to-context\tex\setuptex and then compile a test document using context test
If you want to run from an editor (take scite as example, description on wiki) you need to make sure that mtxrun.exe can be found
I would suggest that you first try the command line method. It is much easier to debug if something goes wrong. Aditya

I wouldn't have followed the advice to change the path, as I'm using MikTeX too and I know that the path settings might interfer. The command prompt is fine, I can Alt-Tab out of my editor and compile a tex file - that's not too inconvenient. Compiling a test document actually works, it scanned through the fonts and finished without errors, even with \usemodule[tikz]. Actually using tikz did not work first, but I installed the module and now it works. And nobody commented the kpathsea601.dll copy!? Regards Christoph On 27.04.2011 20:12, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

This must be my fault. When LuaTeX switched to kpathsea601 I deleted kpathsea600, but forgot that kpathsea probably still depends on kpathsea600. I'll fix that, sorry for the inconvenience. TikZ has been fixed a while ago, but since there was no major release since then, it didn't proliferate to MikTeX. You could easily fix MikTeX by copying a tiny trivial change from ConTeXt minimals to MikTeX, I just need to check which file exactly. Mojca

The problem seems to be that I'm copying kpathsea from TeX Live and that version still depends on kpathsea600.dll. As a temporary solution I added kpathsea600.dll back (I'm not sure if I added it properly to all the places), but I will probably change the code, so that it will fetch all the binaries from Akira instead of taking the ones from old TeX Live.
