Dear Mojca,

> I don't know installers, so ...

I have read first-setup.bat and have recognized that
binaries for LuaTeX and LuajitTeX themselves in the zip
are not installed. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Best,
Akira

I was "offline" for the last two days, so I didn't manage to download your zip.

But if you believe that something should be fixed (even if LuaTeX is
not installed), please let me know.

I created
    http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win64.zip
for testing a while ago, but I'm not sure if we ever tested it properly.

There's also completely untested temporary
    http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup2/

I just need to know which files should end up where. I assemble those
packages on a windows-unaware linux box (with a cron job) from W32TeX
binaries + rsync from elsewhere (some cygwin and some mingw binaries).

Dear Mojca,

[A]  In context-setup-win32.zip the following are 64bit binaries:
(01) kpathsea620w64.dll
   can be removed
(02) kpathsea621w64.dll
   can be removed
(03) lua52w64.dll
   can be removed since 32bit lua52.dll exists
(04) luajit51w64.dll
   cab be removed since 32bit luajit51.dll exists
(05) luajittex.dll
   should be replaced by 32bit luajittex.dll
(06) luatex.dll
   should be replaced by 32bit luatex.dll
(07) luatex.exe
   should be replaced by 32bit luatex.exe
(08) mtxrun.dll
   should be replaced by 32bit mtxrun.dll
(09) mtxrun.exe
   should be replaced by 32bit mtxrun.exe
(10) texlua.exe
   should be replaced by 32bit texlua.exe

[B] In context-setup-win64.zip the following are 32bit binaries:
(01) kpathsea611.dll
     can be removed.
(02) kpathsea620.dll
     can be removed.
(03) kpathsea621.dll
     can be removed.
(04) lua52.dll
     can be removed since 64bit lua52w64.dll exists.
(05) luajit51.dll
     can be removed since 64bit luajit51w64.dll exists.
You have to add 64bit version of msvcr100.dll (size=829264)
since it is used in mtxrun.exe etc.

Best,
Akira

ConTeXt installation problem with Windows 8.1

[Akira Kakuto]

Dear Mojca,

> again). I added the missing dll. If any other file is still missing,
> please say which file exactly.

That is a mixup of 32bit and 64bit binaries. Note that
dlls and exes are different for 32bit and 64bit versions, even if
names are the same. I uploaded temporarily
http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/wt1357ak/context-mswin.zip

I don't know installers, so context-mswin.zip is only for Mojca,
not for general users.
I'll remove it if Mojca download it.

Complete set of 32bit luatex and luajittex are in
context/bin/win32,
and
complete set of 64bit luatex and luajittex are in
context/bin/win64.

Best,
Akira

ConTeXt installation problem with Windows 8.1

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 374 bytes --]

Hello ConTeXist.
I tried to install standalone ConTeXt (64 bit. Version) into the new installation of Windows 8.1 During installation, I encounter a message about missing DLL library (at first MSVCR100.DLL, after insert this library next error message.). Does anyone have a similar experience? respectively. How do I install Windows ConTeXt to 8.1
Thanks. Jaroslav Hajtmar

although the following solution for Ctx installation is "ad-hoc", not systematic, it should solve your problem:
add the missing MSVC libraries from "MS Redistributable Package":

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kche8ah(v=vs.100).aspx

The problem appears time-to-time to end users and not to program developers, as MS Visual Studio includes/installs the required DLLs (which are part of "Redist. Pack.") automatically (so it works for developers).

And then, an end user may need to install the missing DLLs manually.
(When a SW has an installer, it often handles this step automatically.)

So, try do download & install the proper "MS Redistributable Package"; it's free (download and install, both).

Cheers,

Lukas

If our ConTeXt distribution is missing those files, then *I* need to
add them to the distribution. This problem usually happens when Akira
switches to a newer MSVC and unless someone complains, I never know
that new files have to be added as I never use Windows.

We can discuss the fix off-list.

Re: ConTeXt installation problem with Windows 8.1

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3038 bytes --]

Thanks to Lukas and Mojca too for the reply. 
The problem may be elsewhere. At my working computer (at work) I have Windows 8.1, and there I ConTeXt standalone installed ok and everything works as it should. On my own laptop I install Windows 8.1 Enterprise (ie. I think the top product) and even ConTeXt not installed because the installation procedure did not find DLL. At the moment I do not know what it could be. Maybe when I install the drivers (I had trouble installing the graphics driver) something screwed up. Perhaps it wanted a broader discussion of Windows 8 users, respectively. 8.1 and probably even different versions (Home, Professional, Enterprise ???).
Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar

Please try again (you need to download
http://distribution.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip
again). I added the missing dll. If any other file is still missing,
please say which file exactly.

Btw, there is a handy utility for analysing dependency problems:
http://www.dependencywalker.com/

You can browse for any exe file and inspect if all referenced libraries are
available on your system.

I probably already tried that tool, but I would need one that works on
Mac or Linux ;)
