Hi Johan,

I wonder whether both paths (from MikTeX and the ConTeXt Suite) don’t clash.

My guess is that you should run:

    c:\context\tex\setuptex
    mtxrun --generate
    context --make --all

And compile the file you want from the command line, if compilation from
TeXworks fails.

I hope it might help,


Pablo
