Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt on MikTeX
As I cannot use rsynch to update ConTeXt, I was wondering if the MikTeX distribution might provide an alternative route to getting updates. Is it a firewall problem or something else? Firewall. I am protected by two company firewalls (so I'm told). There is no prospect of opening ports that are currently blocked and 'tunnelling' or whatever it's called would be seen as a contavention of company rules! 3) How often will the MikTeX distribution be updated with a new ConTeXt?

It seems to be a problem with MikTeX itself since this workaround seems to solve the problem, at least temporary: ruby C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb texexec I'm not so quick to blame MiKTeX -- I suspect texmfstart.rb would need to provide some path searching tailored to MiKTeX. It seems to rely on $0 with a tetex/texlive directory structure where SELFAUTOPARENT can be used. Christian has indeed replied that he uses the binary version of texmfstart from CTAN (which is a bit older that the one on PRAGMA). But I still don't understand what can go wrong in the middle of nothing, without any major changes. So there is either a problem in MikTeX or in ConTeXt. The only criticism of MiKTeX is that it is silly to distribute a broken package, but then it is up to ConTeXt users to report breakage and, ideally, supply fixes. I completely agree. Except that I have no MikTeX any more. And I don't have the slightest idea what could have caused the problem. I don't see any serious changes in the texmfstart code that could break the 3-week-old version, while it has worked OK before. Mea culpa. I should have forced Hans to fix it during BachoTeX ... :) I will try to misuse some windows computer next week to see if I can find any bugs (but it's difficult to test since one cannot simply modify the ruby script as on other platforms).

Don't complain, just switch to a platform/distro where ConTeXt works and use mpm (since few others provide updates with the speed and convenience of MiKTeX). I think MiKTeX should remain focusing on the packages and binaries, and rely on upstream to fix broken packages. I agree. But I have thought that some change in MikTeX might have occurred in the meantime.

Any help is much appreciated.
imo
(1) miktex's pdftex/mp should support --8bit (or tcx files)
(2) and silently ignore unknown flags
the problem is that in tl 2006/7 natural.tcx is supposed to be shipped
with the main tree, but i have no clue if miktex ships that as well (and
supports tcx filters); the --8bit flag makes pdftex etc 8 bit clean
(roundtrip)

Re: [NTG-context] context under miktex (2)
Don't use MikTeX 2.4. I can confirm that latest releases of ConTeXt (since the introduction of ruby-based executables) have problems with MikTeX 2.4. Do you have any chances to upgrade MikTeX to 2.5?

Re: [NTG-context] context on miktex update not working
can someone make me a zip with miktex binaries [pdfetex and mpost cum suis and database generator] + miktex config file? What do you mean by database generator? MikTeX is available on http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/. I don't know what format .cab is, I open it with Total Commander, but just in case you have problems accessing them, I'm sending a zip file (off-list) for miktex-metapost-base.cab, miktex-metapost-bin.cab, miktex-pdfetex.cab and miktex-config.cab.

Re: [NTG-context] context on miktex update not working
Hi Upendran, Though i am not a MIKTeX user your error file sounds like you did not create the format files after updating ConTeXt. So you should run e.g. texexec --make en mptopdf metafun For the sake of being sure run the MIKTeX tool for updating its database. In your error log there is also a message concerning the format path. Please make shure that this path (which was modified in recent versions of ConTeXt) is known to MIKTeX. Also there is a message on fixing the pfttex executable. I guess that this is not set correctly in you MIKTeX installation.
