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.
