Broken ConTeXt

Broken ConTeXt

  While I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm absolutely 
certain that it worked perfectly yesterday, ConTeXt is broken:

C:\ConTeXt>path
PATH=C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin;C:\Ruby187\bin;c:\bin;c:\tsepro;c:\program
iles\vim\vim72;c:\cygwin\bin;C:\Program

sstem32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program 
Files\ooRexx;c:\program
files\MikTex 2.8\mktex\bin;c:\program files\MikTex 
2.8\miktex\bin\miktex\bin\

C:\ConTeXt>context --version

C:\ConTeXt>

And then I deleted it all, reinstalled Minimals, and get exactly the 
same result.  Is my luck really this bad?  What to do?

Tom.

you're missing a texmfcnf.lua file

this file is really needed to jumstart ... its location is either 
determined automatically (relative to binary) or by an environment variable

You can try
#> cd C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua
#> luatools --generate

Are the binaries in C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin or
C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin? That is - with or without tex? The
information above is a bit confusing. What does
   mtxrun --generate
return you?

Apart from that - you are welcome to test if ConTeXt works fine on MikTeX (2.9).

In the path the first entry is

PATH=C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin;

That is, then 'with tex.'

It continues to work just fine on my TeXLive 2010 installation, but I 
don't think it ever worked on MikTeX 2.8 (the version I have installed).

I'm quite puzzled why a fresh installation (twice now) gives exactly the 
same result.

Did you by any chance set the variable TEXMF in your environment? I
guess not, but in my case both TEMF and TEXMFCNF are empty. In your
case they are both set wrong. What else do you have in C:\ConTeXt\
besides "bin", "tex", "first-setup.bat" and "status-of-update.lua"?

After much ado, I finally got everything working again.  I deleted 
everything (as usual), and then simplified my PATH (removing Cygwin and 
MikTeX, among others), cleaned up my environment variables ... and did a 
fresh install.  I got a cramp from having my fingers crossed the whole 
time, but a functional ConTeXt came out at the end.

Now, back to work!  Thanks everyone for your help.

Tom.
