[NTG-context] context_reg_install

2007-08-28 Thread Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky
Hello,

Let me share my installer for MSWinContext. The archive contains installer and 
source code.

http://rapidshare.com/files/51816047/context-installer-1.0.zip

After you unpacked MSWinContext onto your hard drive, copy 
context_reg_install.exe into \context\tex folder and run it there.

Any questions/suggestions? ;)

I use the standalone MSWinContext on a machine with MiKTeX installed.
By default I run the MiKTeX binaries; when I want to play with luatex
and mkiv I run a batch file to reset the environment variables.

Can MSWinContext as set up by your installer work side-by-side with MiKTeX?

Hello Mojca,

Since you don't use Windows, it may be useless, but here is the proper link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/51823950/context-installer-1.0.zip

Thank you for detailed suggestions! All your proposals I can implement 
(theoretically).  :-)

 - installer downloads the necessary zips and unpacks them
 automatically to the desired location

How can I tell necessary zips from unnecessary? And do you mean cont-tmf and 
other zips found on the pragma site?

 A few suggestions of how I would imagine such an instaler to work:
 - user downloads the exe file (or zipped exe) and runs it
 - user chooses the folder where to install the context minimals
 - installer downloads the necessary zips and unpacks them
 automatically to the desired location
 - if the user want to install the minimals permanently (globally), add
 the necessary values to register, but remember any values previously
 set (by TeXLive or by some other distribution)
 - (you might need to install unzip.exe as well)

 - the installer should be able to only fetch and unzip the files, or
 additionally set the variables in register

 Menu entry of ConTeXt minimals sould have the following entries:
 - enable context minimals globally
 - disable context minimals globally
 - check for updates/update context (includes remaking formats)
 - remake formats
 - I have much more in mind, but that's a topic for some other time

 People want to run the minimals in parallel with MikTeX or TeXLive.
 This means that they would want to enable the minimal context
 distribution temporary, so that when they call texexec, the minimal
 tree will be used, but they would like to disable it again, so that
 when they call texexec again, MikTeX will be used again.

 Mojca
