Hi Sebastian, I’m not on Win10, but I guess this was the right file. > i unzipped the file, started command as admin and went to Con dir. there > i entered: first-setup.bat --modules=all > everything went fine and i added the win64 folder which Con installer > showed me at the end to my system paths. > as far as i know, an update is done the same way. please correct me if i > am wrong.

I don’t think so.

MakeIndex isn’t required in ConTeXt. (Indices aren’t generated using MakeIndex in ConTeXt, afaIk.) BibTeX may work, but there is a much better bibliographic module being developed. > well and it works. but not without ruby: why do i need ruby? i would use > mkiv only if i could. i also worked with Hex color codes but then > everything is black untill i add \setupcolor[hex] to the document. i > read that this line is only needed in mkiv, so again i am wondering why > i am obviously using mkii instead of mkiv... The command line for MkIV should read "context source-file.tex". BTW, ruby isn’t required for MkIV. > the last question for now is: how can i stop pdfTeX.exe from warning me > that no GlyphToUnicode entry has been inserted yet. i read somewhere > that this can be ignored but nobody explains what this is and how it > works. i just don't want to read this every time but fix it. > and what is meant with bad boxes? i read "Underfull \hbox (badness > 10000) in paragraph..." but don't know how to fix this. Warnings fron pdftex will dissapear when you switch to MkIV :-). "Underfull \hbox" may be caused by wrong hyphenation? Would it be possible that you were compiling a German (or non-English text)? In such case, please add "\mainlanguage[de]" in the first line of your source document. > i would also have questions related to SciTE, because i can't make UTF-8 > work following the desctiption on contextgarden, but for now i would be > happy if i could take the most out of context within TeXnicCenter. Never used SciTE in Windows. Notepad++ works fine for me on Win7 (but I’m no ConTeXt expert).
