Re[2]: Problem installing context with miktex

["Luis A. Apiolaza" <Luis.Apiolaza@utas.edu.au>]

Hi Hans,

Yes, I copied texexec.rme into texexec.rme after making a few
modifications in the file, namely setting the program to use miktex
and setting a few paths.

My tex installation tree looks like: d:\tex\texmf\... and
d:\tex\localtexmf\...

When I run texexec --verbose I get:

TeXExec 2.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001

If I try to run texexec test.tex I get the error message I mentioned
in my previous mail. If test.tex contains:
\starttext
\framed{Is it working?}
\stoptext

the only file I get has extension .tmp and it looks like:
\unprotect
\setupsystem[\c!gebied={d:/tex/texmf/tex/context/user/}]
\protect

Just in case I am running ActiveState Perl 5.6.1.628, Miktex 2.0 in
Windows NT 4.00.1381 SP6, 512 Mb RAM and plenty of HD space. Any help
will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Luis

Hans> Did you copy texexec.rme into texexec.ini and activate the miktex section?
