I have turned off User Account Control and installed cygwin. In order to install context I tried several ways without success: the ContextMinimalInstaller.exe failed by silently not downloading any files the minimals installer failed with rsync complaining when it was unable to create several directories. first-setup.bat ran without error if I manually created those directories but turned out not to have populated the file system when done In the end I unzipped justtex.zip and mswintex.zip and manually updated relevant parts of that tree with rsync from rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals MkII seems to work after this but when I run luatools --generate luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en I get the output below which looks like a lua error. luatex version is snapshot-0.22.0-2008021623. I do not know enough about lua to track this error down. I am hoping someone knows what to do. Perhaps there is even someone who can tell me an easier way to install context on vista.
