Pagination problem with an intermezzo containing a footnote

Pagination problem with an intermezzo containing a footnote

[mathew]

\starttext

This is a sample document to demonstrate a possible bug. You will
probably see a footnote below which appears before the page it's
referenced from.

\placeintermezzo[page][block:example]{Demonstrating a bug}
\startframedtext[width=0.8\makeupwidth]
This is a rather dull intermezzo.\footnote{But it does at least
demonstrate a bug.}
\stopframedtext

\stoptext

This isn’t a bug. The problem with your footnote is that context
reads the note at page 1 where it saw the float and placed therefore
the note on page one but the float itself wasn’t placed because
context saved it and flushed it at the next page.

What you can do is to move the float first to a separate page
first and used a fixed float (force keyword) to immediately flush it. 

The saved method is to use local footnotes (you can find example
on the wiki) where the notes are placed below the float.

Minimals installation problem

[Tom]

After installing Minimals apparently successfully on a Windows Vista system,
I got the following messages when executing context hello:

MTXrun | forcing cache reload
MTXrun | resolvers: loading configuration file
'C:/Context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua'
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

The directory name, Context, is not longer than eight characters and has no
embedded spaces, so that should not be a problem. Executing texexec hello
works fine. However, I want to use MKIV not MKII. BTW, I chose the current
option to get a stable version.

What could be the problem?
