I launched your modified first-setup.bat - it seems the latest Ctx version was
updated successfully.
I also tried to compile some sample files - no problem.
OS: WinXP Home Edition, SP3.
BTW: It normally happens to me that I have to run 'mtxrun --generate' after I
updated Ctx.
Not today (? - I don't know why); but normally I'm using a slightly modified
'first-setup.bat' calling mtxrun automatically.
So if you thought this would be useful (actually it may depend on whether an
explicit 'mtxrun --generate' after update is necessary what I don't know -
always reality shows me), it might be good to add the call to the end of
first-setup.bat (see the attached first-setup-alt.bat).
