Good morning, As mentioned yesterday, I am trying to install ConTeXt on my Windows XP machine. However, I am experiencing some problems and thought I could get some help from someone on the list.
Bear in mind though, that my previous experience regarding installation steps is from installing InDesign, QuarkXPress and the like, so you may want to be a bit patient... :) This is what I have done so far: ======================================== 1: Downloaded and installed MikTeX, ver. 2.4, accepting all default settings/suggestions. 2: Downloaded and installed WinEdt. Have run WinEdt's TeX diagnostics and it's OK. 3: Downloaded and installed ActivePerl, ver. ActivePerl 5.8.6.811, MSI, and accepted all default settings/suggestions. 4: Restarted. 5: In the command line window I then typed texexec --verbose and got alot of information in return, so texexec seems to work alright. 6: Then the installation manuals says something about copying "texexec.rme" to "texexec.ini". Does it mean that I should delete the .ini file and rename the .rme file, and then uncommenting the MikTeX line (as referred in the manual)? Also, I opened the files and they are just two chunks of unformatted ASCII texts. No linebreaks, no blank lines etc. Is that correct? ======================================== OK, my bloodsugar dropped a bit at that point :) and tried the following: I created a small file by copying Hans' sample in Sec 2.2 in the ConTeXt manual. In the command line window I typed texexec --test and got the reply: "unknown file type: texmfscripts" I would be very grateful if someone could hint what I have done wrong and/or lead me through any following installation steps. Many thanks in advance! Best regards, Mats Broberg _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
