CtxTools problem

CtxTools problem

[Keith McKay]

I'm having a bit of a problem when I run

texmfstart ctxtools --update

The output is given below.  

>texmfstart ctxtools --update
CtxTools | updating F:/isoimage/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local
CtxTools | fetching cont-tmf.zip
CtxTools | extracting cont-tmf.zip
CtxTools | fatal error, make sure that you have 'unzip' in your path
CtxTools | unable to extract cont-tmf.zip
>Exit code: 0

I'm using the standalone version on WindowsXP.
I use 7-Zip as my zip file tool and have that in my path.  I set this
through windows control panel>System>Advanced>Environment variables.  I'm
beginning to wonder if "make sure that you have 'unzip' in your path" means
something else?

Any tips?

Thanks

you can try

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/unzip.htm

Just copy unzip.exe in the 'bin' directory of TeX.

There already exists a file 'gunzip.exe' in the
...\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin directory. You can rename this file into
unzip.exe.
Even better: maybe Hans could rename this file already into unzip.exe in
the standalone version.

Hi Keith

You don't have unzip in your path. I've met the same problem first time I
use Hans' minimal context distribution on Windows. Then I download a
gnuwin32 version of unzip from:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/unzip-bin-zip.php
and I extract the files under /bin directory to $where I extract Hans'
wincontext$\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin
Then it's OK now
