Miktex breaks install

Miktex breaks install

[Felix Ingram]

In a fit of madness I installed Miktex and now my minimals install is
borked ("unknown script 'context.lua'...). Looking at the output it
seems that Miktex has set a load of variables that Context is now
using for itself.

I suppose it would be nice to run side by side, but I guess I need to
reset these variables when using Context. Is the texmfcnf.lua file the
best place to put these? If so, then does anyone know what I should
set the following to?

SELFAUTOLOC
SELFAUTODIR
SELFAUTOPARENT
TEXMFCNF
TEXMF
TEXOS

Thanks in advance,

Felix

Did you install minimals with windows installer or with bat file?

From what I understand, MikTeX currently doesn't have any ConTeXt
installed. So the whole difference that MikTeX makes is that it
changes PATH to executables. If you want to use minimals, all you need
to do is to put path to <minimals>/tex/texmf-mswin/bin in front of
path to MikTeX binaries.

If you don't know how to change PATH (you can either do it with set
PATH=... or with GUI somewhere is system settings), please ask again.
(We need a clear entry in ConTeXt wiki about that.)
