I would like some help setting context to work on my windows xp machine, I
don't know if here I am supposed to ask so you'll forgive me. So, I tried
edit the sample tex hello world in Scite editor and when I process it I get
this:

>mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf --pdf simple_doc.tex

I mention that because the Gui installer dind't work for me , I had to
install context minimals from the command -line as instructed in the wiki so
I have it in C:\context\ and for Scite I've used the installer so it went in
C:\Program Files\Scite. I've also executed the setuptex.bat file. Also have
the 3 configuration files mentioned in the wiki in their place.
I am using last version, I have neither ruby nor perl installed, I am using
windows xp sp3, both administrator and limited user accounts, same problem.
Is there a way to get this work?
