What I did is: 1. Download the http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip 2. Unpack the zip. 3. run first-setup.bat 4. Added the texmf-fonts-folder and the texmf-project folder from the MacOsX installation. 5. run yourpath/setuptex.bat yourpath/tex/ 6. context --generate 7. context --make And it works. I use Scite under Windows and I have no exp. with TeXworks. The problem there is to learn TeXworks to use the minimals. Wscite was already there on the windows box. Because I did not use this for a long time I copied the *.properties files from /texmf-context/context/config/data/scite to the home directory of the user and placed the *.lua file in the wscite directory. It keeps working without any struggle. Willi On 12 Aug 2011, at 17:14, Cecil Westerhof wrote: > I like to install ConTeXt on a Windows (XP) machine (so I can make an installation manual).
