Run ConTeXt from TexLive 7 CDROM and WinShell

Run ConTeXt from TexLive 7 CDROM and WinShell

[fa441907]

Thank you to Maarten Sneep and Severin Obertuefer for
help with my "Newbie cant get \externalfigure to work"

It seems likely that problem arose because of some
coding errors and also because I am using an
old (1999) version of ConTeXt (part of 4TeX5.0 (NL
Tug)). So I am trying to upgrade.

I am now trying to run ConTeXt from TexLive 7 CDROM,

TexLive says ... "Select a Tex-oriented editor"
I chose WinShell
To run Context, I made a WinShell User Defined Tool, as
follows. In Options => General => Userdefined I did

 ... exefile  = pdfetex
 ... cmd line = &cont-en

When I run that tool I get

 One or more errors occurred!
 Please check the options!

Now I am stuck again

Your suggestions gratefully received

Richard Hardwick

maybe you need to change the pdfetex in texexec here, or better

   exefile = texexec
   cmfline = --pdf --int=en

given that you want to force the english interface,
