Sorry, Bruce, this has to do with the way I manage different ConTeXt versions in Windows (and in Linux before, but that is irrelevant here). I only have `c:\context\tex\texmf-win64\bin\` added to `%PATH%` (no other ConTeXt-related path is part of `%PATH%`). Experience has taught me to backup previous versions, since I may have issues with newer ones (and after all I’m in production [so to speak]). So I have right now: 1. `c:\context\`. 2. c:\context - copy X\ (where copy is from 1 up to 17). 3. `c:\context-32\`. #3 was only required while my system denied access to current latest win64 binary (SHA512 starting with 831e6fdd20ef3…). This also required an extra `c:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\` added to `%PATH%`. In fact, since latest win64 binaries seem to work on my OS, I have removed `c:\context-32\` (although I keep the extra path untill I update at least one more time without glitches). To change versions, I use the file browser to change the relevant folder name to `context` only. My update procedure (not exactly rocket science, but it just works): 1. Go inside `C:\` with the file browser. 2. Select the `context` folder. 3. Copy and paste it (`Ctrl+c` plus `Ctrl+v` does the job). 4. Add the corresponding number after `context - copy`. 5. Go inside `C:\context\` and double-click on `install.bat`. BTW, to report here, I renamed `c:\context - copy 17\` to `c:\new\` and `c:\context - copy 16` to `c:\old\` to make it easier to fit and clearer to understand. Sorry for the painful verbose explanation, but I hope it is clear now. Attached is the output from MSYS2 terminal (https://www.msys2.org/docs/terminals/#mintty) after I successfully ran both `context --version` and `luametatex --version` (standard messages, no "Acceso denegado" message). Of course, I haven’t changed any ConTeXt-related path starting from the two commands from previous paragraph (this includes all commands in attachment). Sorry for not being completely clear and accurate in my explanations and many thanks for your help, Pablo
