Re: problem with texmf-local on Vista

[Christopher G D Tipper <chris.tipper@gmail.com>]

So following your instructions I get:

C:\Users\Christopher>kpsewhich -progname=texexec basic-template
c:/Users/Christopher/Library/texmf/tex/sources/user/basic-template.tex

C:\Users\Christopher>texmfstart --locate basic-template.tex
C:/Users/Christopher/Library/texmf/tex/sources/user/basic-template.tex
C:\Users\Christopher>

However when I run texexec, I get an error:
texexec --pdf --interface=en --nonstop "rss-tech-tip.tex"
...
(c:/context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.mkii))
! I can't find file `basic-template'.
l.1 \input basic-template

(Press Enter to retry, or Control-Z to exit)
Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
l.1 \input basic-template

I don't have a clue what's happening, I'm afraid.
