Hello,

Don't know whether it is already answered or not, but if you have to run
scite.bat from mswincontext folder, not first-setup.bat. It should work out
of the box. First of all, build format files (Oprtions or Tools menu, don't
remember exactly), and then press F7 each time you compile a document.

Regards,
Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

I think making a screencast would save new users ALOT of time.  The following

mswintex.zip versus mswincontext.zip

[David Arnold]

Hans et al,

For our students, I need to have Miktex and at least one of these  
distributions (mswintex.zip or mswincontext.zip) coexisting side by  
side.

I've got Miktex installed and working with the Texniccener IDE for  
student use.

Now, I need to get context and metapost working properly (no longer  
any mptopdf in the Miktex distro). Students don't deal well with DOS  
boxes and terminals at first (they can grow into them), so what I  
need is a scite icon on the desktop, that when clicked, will open and  
work (for context and metapost).

I had already loaded mswintex.zip on each machine in our lab, run  
first-setup.bat. I also installed Scite by downloading from the  
scintilla site. I finally figured out that you need to import context  
in the Globals, though (the http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ 
mscite-p.pdf said it should work in user as well, which I could not  
get to work.

So, as I understand it now, the difference is the mswincontext.zip  
comes with perl and ruby, but we already have perl and ruby  
installed. If I get rid of the gems (how?) then I should be able to  
make progress?

What I need is students to have both scite and texniccenter running  
at the same time. What are my best options?

Thanks.

D.
