Re: Re: Problem running ConTeXt (cont-en.efmt not found..)

Jules,

On some systems, when you run texexec --make --alone, the format files are
put automatically in the correct place. On others, they're not. For
example, if you are on:

c:\temp

And you run texexec --make --alone, then the format files might wind up in
c:\temp and you have to manually move them to the correct place (In
Miktex, on my system, that's to c:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt and
c:\localtexmf\miktex\mem. Then you have to refresh the filename database.

Hope this helps.
