Re: [NTG-context] win2k and context
Just curious: is that the latest version that works according to your tests or did you actually try just this one? The next version available in https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 is 0.74.0 and didn't work. I don't know if there are versions between?

At least mtxrun.exe should work with older Windows versions! The problem is that at some point a different network related library was introduced and most programs (not only luatex) after some years end up using the new stuff. Windows has a quite good track record for long term support of binaries but there are limits. Compiling binaries themselves is normally not on the user's agenda.

Re: [NTG-context] win2k and context
Please test whether the luatex binaries work at all. Without a working luatex binary it's pointless to even discuss any further. Once you find a working luatex, we'll be able to help you further. The mingw 0.72.0 is not complaining about missing functions. So I can say: It runs! Don't know if there are other problems. Btw: a working mtxrun alone won't help you because that won't necessarily give you a compatible luatex version. In the worst case you can probably replace mtxrun with a batch script. With a working mtxrun I could downgrade using the context=date switch. This switch makes not much sens if it is not working with older versions.

If LuaTeX runs, fetch ConTeXt from git: * https://github.com/contextgarden/context/ * http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context/ (or from elsewhere). The switch --context=date became pretty much useless as there are no more regular current releases of ConTeXt. With git you get access to more versions. The script mtxrun contains some instructions about how one could run it: LUATEXDIR=/../texmf/scripts/context/lua luatex --luaonly mtxrun.lua $@ If you translate that syntax to a mtxrun.bat, it will probably work. Or you can try to compile mtxrun yourself.

Re: [NTG-context] win2k and context
At least mtxrun.exe should work with older Windows versions! So I could do mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --force --update --make -- context=2012-12-09 --texroot=%CONTEXTROOT% %* to fetch an older version. I have tried this on a XP machine, but I got LuaTeX 0.79.1 and context 2013.11.01 (which I had bevor the mtxrun on that machine). I also tried the above command without the --update option. But same result.

Re: [NTG-context] win2k and context
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/071049.html Taco keeps an archive of windows binaries on http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/frs/ not found (click on package name to get the list of older releases) but they were compiled on a different compiler, so you need to check yourself whether they work for you or not. In case not, my best bet for downloading it would be fetching luatex.dll from an arbitrary commit from http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/win32/ not clear to me how to extract a certain older version! Most probably the latest binary is still 0.72.0 in which case you can also fetch it from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive The version is not obvious to me!

You might be able to fetch and old TeX Live from the archive. ftp://ftp.tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/ Akira's recent binaries don't support Windows 2000 any longer, that's for sure, but he's using Visual Studio. There is a reasonable chance that you might be able to compile luatex yourself with MinGW (maybe Taco's binaries are working) and maybe that would work even with the latest version of LuaTeX. But you need to try yourself.
