Hi Aditya,

On my machine (Mac OS X) the Minimals are installed and when trying what you suggest I get the correct path:

localhost:~ kavian$ luatools --locate mtxrun.lua
/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua

localhost:~ kavian$ texmfstart --locate mtxrun.lua
/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua
localhost:~ kavian$ 

I remember that a long time ago when I was using texlive, at some point the issues with scripts being in a "stubs" subdirectory of context appeared, but don't remember how the issue was fixed (maybe Mojca or Hans did something magic to solve it?).

Best regards: OK
