Mojca,

I saw your note on blog.miktex.org:

If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been removed,  
you may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7 
\miktex\bin with the content:

@echo off
ruby "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb"  
"%*"

and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C: 
\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and  
generate formats, and everything should work again.

Mojca

I followed this advice, installed texmfstart.bat, unzipped cont- 
tmf.zip properly, updated the filename database, then got stuck.

At the dos prompt:

$ texmfstart --help

Worked just fine. However,

$ texmfstart texexec --help

Did not work. What am I missing? If I recall I'll need to do:

$ texmfstart texexec --make --all

Or some such thing.

Can you please try what happens if you install MikTeX in some folder
with no spaces in base path?

Re: Miktex

[David Arnold]

Mojca,

I a hopeless mac user at home now. I used to be pretty good with  
miktex, even working with hans to test the settings that now exist in  
the texexec.rme file, back in the days when we made that an .ini file  
in Miktex. But no longer.

It's our school machines I am trying to configure, PC's with Windows  
XP. I got to a point today where I selected the formats tab in the  
Miktex Settings gui, and tried to build cont-en there. It objected  
that it could not find cont-en.ini in tex/something or other so I  
tried moving cont-en.ini from the context distribution to tex/ 
something or other and updating the filename database to no avail.

I'll give your idea of no spaces a try tomorrow. Meanwhile if you can  
think of anything less drastic, as I have to do this on 20 different  
machines, ....

Thanks so much.

David.

You could try to unzip cont-tmf.zip in a separate root without spaces.
E.g. 

C:\contextfiles\...

Then add C:\contextfiles as a new root.

Does removing the quotation marks around argument help?

@echo off

Re: Miktex

Mojca,

Thanks.

On:

http://blog.miktex.org/post/2008/05/ConTeXt-support.aspx

At the bottom of the list, these seem to be the errors that another  
user reports.

Please keep me informed. I need to have mptopdf working for my  
students in the Miktex tree.

I'm just as lost as others are. I have no idea what's wrong. I suspect
it's about spaces in filenames, but need to try it out.

Since mptopdf works for me, it isn't about spaces.   It looks like the
mptopdf program could be better replaced by another simple script:

Try:

C:\Testing>pdftex "&mptopdf" \processMPfile{example.1}

miktex

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I'm trying to make texexec more miktex aware and run into a problem

 >pdfetex --alias=context -initialize *cont-en
! I can't read TEX.POOL.

does anyone know what is wrong here?

(btw, Christian Schenk now provides a bin only zip so that i can make 
minimals for testing which makes it easier for me to answer miktex 
related questions)
