Mojca,
OK. Removed quotes, so texmfstart.bat now reads:
@echo off
ruby "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb" %*
This now works:
$ C:\temp>texmfstart texexec --help
TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD
TeXExec | --check check versions
TeXExec | --figures generate overview of figures
TeXExec | --listing list of file content
TeXExec | --make make formats
TeXExec | --modules generate module documentation
TeXExec | --mpgraphic process mp file to stand-alone graphics
TeXExec | --mpstatic process mp/ctx file to stand-alone graphics
TeXExec | --mptex process mp file
TeXExec | --mpxtex process mpx file
TeXExec | --pdfarrange impose pages (booklets)
TeXExec | --pdfcombine combine multiple pages
TeXExec | --pdfcopy copy pages from file(s)
TeXExec | --pdfselect select pages from file(s)
TeXExec | --pdfsplit split file in pages
TeXExec | --pdftrim trim pages from file(s)
TeXExec | --process process file
TeXExec |
TeXExec | --help --all shows all switches
However, I cannot make the formats. Going to Miktex 2.7->Settings->Formats, attempting to build cont-en results in, even though I've copied cont-en.ini into the directory expected by Miktex 2.7.
Creating the cont-en.pdftex format file...
Running pdftex...
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.4 (MiKTeX 2.7) (INITEX)
entering extended mode
("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\context\config\cont-en.ini")
! Emergency stop.
<*> cont-en.ini
No pages of output.
Transcript written on cont-en.log.
makefmt: pdftex failed on cont-en.ini.
initexmf.EXE: The operation failed for some reason.
So, here is where I stand.
D.

Can't you just use the standaline version from Hans, it includes Perl
and Scite too.

Wolfgang,
Thanks. I am aware of this option. But my students are using Latex,
so we need Miktex. What I need is to get mptopdf running in Miktex.

Can you please check/compare the values with the sones below? I did
not put any ini file anywhere, though I had some issues with formats
(restarting the program helped).
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MikTeX#Make_formats
Make formats
* Go to Start Menu -> MikTeX 2.7 -> Settings -> Formats -> New ...
Format key: ConTeXt (could be anything)
Format name: cont-en (could be anything)
Compiler: pdftex
Input file name: cont-en.tex
Description: ConTeXt format (could be anything)
(uncheck) Exclude this format ...
* Choose the newly created format and Build it.
* For mptopdf uncheck the box for excluding as well.
Mojca

Mojca,
Ouch! Ignore my last email.
You had:
> Input file name: cont-en.tex
But I had:
> Input file name: cont-en.ini
I'll have to pay more attention. I'll try this again tomorrow.

miktex use in most cases a .ini-file. But this files don't contain much
more than "\input cont-en \dump".
Check if cont-en.tex has a \dump command at the end. If yes you can use
cont.en.tex, if not create such an ini-file.
Btw: there should be a formats-context.ini in your main root which
contains all the entries for the context formats currently disabled in
miktex. You can copy this entries to the formats.ini in your
UserConfig-root. That's a bit faster than using the GUI. (change if
necessary .ini to .tex)
