I launched your modified first-setup.bat - it seems the latest Ctx version was updated successfully.

I also tried to compile some sample files - no problem.

OS: WinXP Home Edition, SP3.


BTW: It normally happens to me that I have to run 'mtxrun --generate' after I updated Ctx.

Not today (? - I don't know why); but normally I'm using a slightly modified 'first-setup.bat' calling mtxrun automatically.

So if you thought this would be useful (actually it may depend on whether an explicit 'mtxrun --generate' after update is necessary what I don't know - always reality shows me), it might be good to add the call to the end of first-setup.bat (see the attached first-setup-alt.bat).


Best regards,

Lukas
