mtxrun.exe comes from the .zip file you download from the installers page on 
the Contextgarden website.


As a test, I installed a fresh Windows Context onto a Windows 11 VM that's 
never had Context on it before.

I followed the instructions on the wiki here. I didn't have to do anything more 
than what is listed.
<https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Introduction/Installation#Windows>

It all installed smoothly and context --version gives 2025.07.08 17:48

In case your AV software  is erroneously flagging it as "bad" I uploaded the 
mtxrun.exe file to <https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload> and it reported 
it as clean. It's still possible that the slightly older version you have is 
being inadvertently flagged as malware by your AV: there should be an option to 
manually choose a file to scan.

If that doesn't show anything unusual then try the icacls command. I got the 
following output:

c:\context\bin>icacls mtxrun.exe
mtxrun.exe BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
           NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)
           BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX)
           NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(I)(M)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

c:\context\bin>

It's the (RX) line that matters - there should be at least one line with RX for 
an Active Directory group that you are a member of.

Try the above first and we can troubleshoot a bit more if the cause still isn't 
clear.
