Has anybody installed ConTeXt in Windows Vista? I am running into problems.

I am running into problems. *Which* ConTeXt? Where did you take it from? One option is to install MikTeX (and that should work), the other one is to use the zips from PRAGMA web page, and then at least two options to install the new minimals found here: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/ MikTeX is most user friendly, but you cannot use LuaTeX on it (yet). I have no Vista, so I cannot say anything, but it should work - one way or another. But in any case: you should provide more info about what you did and what went wrong. Else it's impossile to help.

I am running into problems. How are you trying to install it: MikTeX, TeXlive, ConTeXt minimals, or ConTeXt standalone distribution. The easiest to install should be ConTeXt standalone which is generated by Hans, and since Hans also uses Vista, it should work on Vista.

Installation invariably failed whether I chose ConTeXt or proTEXT at the dialog box. After that, I downloaded the standalone Windows distribution from the Pragma-ADE site. It downloaded and extracted OK, and running cstart.bat opens SciTE, as probably it should. 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. Again, sorry for wasting some of your time. I had only used the simple OS X installation with TeXShop so far.

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.

OK, that means that environment settings (the way it's done in the installer) apparently have no effect on Vista. You could teoretically try to set set CYGWIN=nontsec somewhere globally, then it would work at the beginning at least, but it probably wouldn't set the global variables properly anyway. What I usually did was creating a file pragmatex.bat like C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex and then called "pragmatex" to initialize the environment every time I wanted to use it.
