[NTG-context] First try with ConTeXt (Win7)
I've used LaTeX for years, but I'm trying to work with ConTeXt now on a Win7 PC that has already had MikTeX 2.9 installed. I've downloaded the minimal ZIP file, unpacked it and run the first_setup.bat file. (Note, I don't have Ruby installed yet, so I can't use pdfTeX, but I assume some other build is available.) Then I opened TeXworks, created a ConTeXt typesetting option, entered a helloworld.tex program, and tried to ConTeXt it. However, I just get these messages: MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: skipping configuration file 'C:/Users/peterd/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' (no file) MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Any clues available?
