Hello,

First: thanks a lot for reporting. (I have no windows here, but I had
so many problems with rsync on windows ... that I might be willing to
torture you until it works, just as I have tortured the windows
machine I have been working on a while back :)

I'm clueless about this (apart from the fact that it might be a rsync
problem). Which windows are you using (XP or Vista)? (Not that I know
if it's relevant at all.)

Can you please try to dowload this:
   http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip
and try to run texlua.exe first?
Then, please try to run the following (from command and "cd
path-to-unzipped-stuff\bin"):
   set CYGWIN=nontsec
   rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/mswin/bin/texlua.exe .
and then see if texlua still has any problems. If not, try to run
(single line, it will probably be broken in this mail):
   rsync -av --exclude 'rsync.exe' --exclude 'cygwin1.dll'
rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/mswin/bin/ .

Alternatively, you can try to run first-setup.bat (from command line
as well) and see if your machine has problems with that.

If you will be able to run texlua after that, then it's installer's
fault (perhaps variables are not set properly) and you should complain
to Vyatcheslav. If you'll have problems running texlua after that
(same error as what you have already mentioned), then you should
complan to rsync developers :) But it's definitely not my fault :) :)
:)

Mojca

PS: alternatively, you might try to send an email to Akira (the
windows compiling specialist), asking him if he's willing to try to
compile rsync for windows :) since any other version of rsync is
causing problems. The more requests he gets, ... :)
