Re: Re[2]: Problem installing context with miktex

["Marcela I. Avalos" <marcelaavalof@dingoblue.net.au>]

Yes, I set the paths, renamed the scripts to use .exe for the scripts.
However, when I run texexec everytime I get an error saying that the
commands are not recognized. The only command that works is --verbose. I
will certainly upgrade to Miktex 2.1 (this afternoon, Australian time) and
see if context works in that case. MOst probably I will ask a few questions
later.

Cheers,

Luis
