It's no problem=20 to install it. http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ there you get ruby. They provide a link to=20 the "one click ruby installer" which you will find here: http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl there is the after installing you should check if the *.exe of perl and ruby is in=20 the default path. you can easily check in the command line by calling ruby --version and perl --version To get the context scripts running they should also be in the default=20 path (this given path is valid for my miktex installation, you probably=20 have to change it)! C:\texmf\scripts\context\perl C:\texmf\scripts\context\ruby I had to add them manually. Regards Wolfgang
