Can you please try the following: - put the file I'm attaching to [whereeveryourinstallation]/texmf/dvips/base/tex.pro - run "mktexlsr" - remake formats again (texexec --make --all), athough this should not be necessary - copy the whole log/error report

Dear Mojca, I could save tex.pro only in the directory C:\Program Files\ConTeXt\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\dvips\, because only in the directory 'texmf-local' is directory 'dvips'.

This means that no formats have been generated since you should get a lengthy TeX run inbetween. Does it make any difference if you move the whole isoimage to C:\ directly? It might be that the space in path name is causing problems, but I'm not sure. I just tried the following (although I don't have any windows around): cd /tmp mkdir "bla bla" cd "bla bla" ln -s path-to-context mycontext cd mycontext . setuptex texexec --make --all and got ruby: No such file or directory -- /tmp/bla (LoadError) (Because it's "bla bla", not "bla".) But this has failed already one step before yours. (Besides that: are your folders write-protected? Since mktexlsr complains about "unable to write to ...") Mojca

Dear Mojca, I have moved the whole isoimage to C:\. Directory 'varfonts' does not exist. That is why mktexlsr cannot open /varfonts/ls-R to write. Problem continues. Istvan
