Well, I followed the discussion, but I don't know what the problem is. I'm using MikTeX 2.1 with Windows 2000 SP1, ActivePerl 5.6.0.623, and everything works fine. I followed the instructions as Luis seems to have done it, set up the paths etc. Just to make sure: do you have a complete MikTeX installation *including pdfetex*? Did you add /texmf/context/perltk to your path, with runperl.exe renamed in this directory? (Don't want to insult your intelligence...) I tried without pdfetex on my machine, but my error message differs ('The command "pdfetex" has been written incorrectly or cannot be found.') The lines Luis has in his .tmp file, are they written by texexec? I assume this, so a problem calling pdfetex might be the reason. If not, I don't have any more ideas for now. Btw, I can recommend upgrading to miktex 2.1, the automatic package updating is a nice feature (well, at least for LaTeX users with dozens of add-on packages, but the context archive is not yet up-to-date, i think, so knowing the manual way is always an advantage).
