I literally just found out that even though I had allowed the installer
to set global environment variables and added the necessary user
specific settings (copied the few .properties files to user profile), I
couldn't get my ConTeXt to work under a different user name on a Vista
Business computer that already has a working ConTeXt+SciTe combo.
The funniest thing is that the second username/login is the more
powerful one, so this wasn't about missing admin rights or anything like
that.
When I reran the installer (I used Vyatscheslav's Windows installer) and
thus got updated minimals, ConTeXt started working also with a new
username. ...I don't know if it broke the original one and I won't care
for now - the important thing is that now somebody else can use ConTeXt
on that computer while I'm not at it.
So even "global" doesn't seem to be *so* global. Some more
investigations are needed at some point, I suspect.
Mari
