Re: Installation of Context (on MikTeX)

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.

Adding the path to the ini file should work ok. But, can you try a newer
texexec (version 2.3 now) 

can be fetched from our site or a mirror. [you may try the beta]

There are miktex users on this list that havea running context without
quotes. David, can you M your latest ini file plus env var settings? There
have been recent changes to miktex with regards to config files and so.

I wonder what this rubish: not found is.

I tried with the last beta version, but the problem is still the same.
Perhaps 
there is something wrong with my ini file.
The format file is found but it appears that when it is passed to pdftex,
there
is no double quotes around it. In the MikTeX distribution it seems that the
format passed to pdftex has to be enclosed around quotes. When I try the
command :
        pdftex    "&d:\\cont-en.fmt" test.tex
 then I get a correct test.dvi file. But no pdf file. (The output is at the
end)

Is there a way to  automaticly put quotes as above with texexec ? Could
that be the problem ?
