TeX Live has been released befor Vista came out, and I have heard that the installer (GUI) doesn't work properly (TeX itself could with some tweaking). If you don't need LuaTeX, you can try to install MikTeX (www.miktex.org) > After that, I downloaded the standalone Windows distribution from the > Pragma-ADE site.

You can launch setuptex.bat . and then compile your documents with texexec filename (but you may not leave the shell where you executed setuptex) > I have some way to go to typeset my first document, but I think I will > manage. I suppose there is no 'install' choise after this point. One thing that you can try is this installer: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalInstall.exe That one will install ConTeXt, but has not been tested on Vista yet (and is more experimental that MikTeX). (When I last tried to use it, the scripts had problems generating mptopdf formats, but that's not too critical.) > Again, > sorry for wasting some of your time.
