And me to! Thanks!

Would some kind soul care to write up on the Wiki the best way to update the
windows stand alone version?  Please.

Subject: Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip installation


Hi,

thanks ! that did it for me...

I did (a) and then (b)  :)

Here is the sequence I used (assuming C:\Programs\context)

Start->Run->cmd
cd C:\Programs\context
cdemo.bat

Then I closed the SciTe thing but I remained in the cmd.

Then, in one line as Mojca says:
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex

And
texexec --make --all

Then I closed the cmd, started by double click the cdemo.bat and voila !


Thanks !

jima

Sorry, this step is missing on Wiki (forgotten).

Can you try the following:

Open command line (Start->Run->cmd) and do either a) or b):
a) "cd" to directory where cdemo.bat resides, execute it and exit (this will
set the path for you)

b) execute (this should be in one line):
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex
(change "C:\Programs\context" to the proper folder)

Then execute
texexec --make --all

The last one is the crucial step for making formats.

Perhaps "making formats" should be present in menu in Scite (perhaps it
already is, I can't check from here).
