First-setup fails with stuff like that: MTXrun | run: rsync -rpztlv --stats contextgarden.net::'minimals/current/bin/common/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/context/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/metapost/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/man/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/xetex/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/pdftex/mswin/' 'c:/context/tex/texmf-mswin'The source and destination cannot both be remote. rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1127) [receiver=3.0.2] Easy fix: in mtx-update.lua, line 294 the current check is if osplatform == "windows" or osplatform == "mswin" then which should also check for "mswin-64". But even after fixing that, mtxrun fails at several points, because it tries to run further commands from "tex/texmf-mswin-64". Another easy fix: add a hardlink/junction for that directory. But that only ended in the following error whenever I invoke mtxrun, texlua, etc.: "texlua.exe - Application Error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). click OK to close the application." I don't know why that was changed, but afaik all 64bit versions of windows support 32bit too so I would vote to leave it as it was before - just deal with mswin-64 as if it was mswin.
