Re: context on miktex update not working

[Willi Egger <w.egger@boede.nl>]

Hi Upendran,

Though i am not a MIKTeX user your error file sounds like
you did not create the format files after updating ConTeXt. So you 
should run e.g.  texexec --make en mptopdf metafun
For the sake of being sure run the MIKTeX tool for updating its database.

In your error log there is also a message concerning the format path. 
Please make shure that this path (which was modified in recent versions 
of ConTeXt) is known to MIKTeX.

Also there is a message on fixing the pfttex executable. I guess that 
this is not set correctly in you MIKTeX installation.
