Re: Installation of Context (on MikTeX)

[michou@cnrs-orleans.fr]

By including the format file parameter in the command line, in this way (2
backslashes needed), the format file seems to be found :

>texexec --verbose --format=d:\\localtexmf\\miktex\\fmt\\cont-en.fmt test.tex

It doesn't work when the format file is specified in the texexec.ini file
because it seems  that  the extension ".fmt" is needed and that does not
appear in this case.

The test file is just this one :
\starttext
 \framed {Let's see if it works}
\stoptext

>From the output (at the end), it seems that some files are not found again.
But I can't figure out which ones ? 
I should specify also that no  output  file (test.pdf) is created here.

I probably need to specify more paths but it is not clear which ones either.

Thanks again for any information.

The result resulting output is as follows :
