By the way, I have two context.exe in TeX Live in: c:\texlive\2012\bin\win32 c:\texlive\2012\texmf-dist\scripts\context\stubs\mswin Testing form the command line, they are the same as noted above. The one in the standalone are: LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-201301 (rev 4565) ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.24 16:47 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.25 int: english/english ? By the way, for the stand alone version under TeXworks, the bin folder information should go before those of TeX Live to avoid problems. In TeXworks one needs to be careful about paths in either case. (But then again, there's the same issue with basically any GUI program that runs TeX. PATH usually needs to be set up separately from the shell.) My paths are defined in Windows, but with TeXworks they also appear in the definition window for the program. I'll enquire to see if it is possible to suppress those.

This time: I did not succeed to install a stand alone version. Tell us more about the specific problems. I did retry everything from the beginning and now it works. One problem is that there is two "bin" folder and I was first pointing to the wrong one; after that I didn't see the context.exe and was trying to use mtxrun. And of course I did add to the path. So now it works from a standalone version. (up to date) Following the discussions on ntg-context, there often is solution using one of hte latest version of ConTeXt, so I have a first question: is it possible to update the TeX Live ConTeXt and its associated files?

You can clone a git repository (https://gitorious.org/context) there for example (just make sure that you don't use one extra directory). - Apart from that you need to make sure that mtxrun will be taken from the latest ConTeXt. There are different options to achieve that. (Add $HOME/bin to PATH and put a symlink or copy of mtxrun there, or any other option that comes to your mind.)

I don't use TeX Live myself, so I cannot help you directly. But there is a repository called “tlcontrib” with more recent packages. My suggestion is to focus on getting the standalone version working. You will receive the most recent bug fixes and it does not interfere with your LaTeX.

[NTG-context] Coming back to ConTeXt
Hi, I decided to give another try to ConTeXt. I already did two years ago, I think, but I had problems mostly because of the lack of documentation for MkIV. Having a more or less strong knowledge and experience of LaTeX doesn't help!!! This time: I did not succeed to install a stand alone version. I have also TeX Live and I need it for LaTeX. I am using TeXworks (not the one from TeX Live). I use ConTeX from TeX Live 2012: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012080612 (TeX Live 2012/W32TeX) ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.20 int: english/english Following the discussions on ntg-context, there often is solution using one of hte latest version of ConTeXt, so I have a first question: is it possible to update the TeX Live ConTeXt and its associated files? I also have questions about typography (hyphenation, typographic rules,...) to have something according the French rules, and others... Other questions in another message.
