You don't need to install W32TeX yourself, but those binaries are used in both TeX Live and ConTeXt distribution, so you basically get the same binaries (only maybe slightly newer version with ConTeXt distribution). And yes, the binaries work fine on a 64-bit system. Since recently there are 64-bit binaries available, but I didn't manage to fix the scripts yet to fetch those binaries when applicable. > Does anybody have advice for me on other reasons for switching from > TeXLive to ConTeXt Standalone, or reasons not to? If TeX Live works for you, there is no real need to switch, but if you ever need a patch or some new functionality, it would be easier to use the latest version.
