The ConTeXt standalone problem
Try running first-setup
again.
Hans sent an e-mail to the list yesterday saying "don't update from the garden, the configuration seems broken."
I didn't try the broken beta, so I don't know if you and he are talking about the same problem, but it seems like. Hans uploaded a new beta this morning, which I fetched with first-setup
and which compiles fine for me.
Like Aditya said, your question was probably better-suited to the mailing list — and you would be very welcome there, of course. Sign up for the ConTeXt mailing list at NTG.nl.

Today I installed the
ConTeXt standalone
by following theWindows Installation: ConTeXt Suite with SciTe
. After that, I wrote a test file:\starttext hello, world! \stoptext
But failed, the output info is as follows:

Now, I have gotten no idea to solve this problem. I have tried run
setuptex
in ../context/tex/, but in vain.-
Aditya over 10 yearsDid you call
setuptex.bat
before runningcontext
? Try runningmtxrun -- generate
-
Lucas over 10 years@Aditya yeah, although I have called
setuptex.bat
, I still get the same message andmtxrun --generate
is also abnormal. -
Aditya over 10 yearsI don't use Windows so it is hard for me to suggest what could be happening. If you don't get any answer here, post of the context mailing list. Hans Hagen, the main developer of ConTeXt, uses Windows + Scite, so you are sure to get an answer there.

Lucas over 10 years@Aditya Thanks. The next step, will be learing to use the mailing lists that I haven't used that before. :-)

Lucas over 10 yearsThis morning, I reinstalled ConTeXt standalone and everything was OK :-)

Esteis over 10 yearsIn that case, I'm flagging this question for deletion as 'too localized'. It was a perfectly good question, don't worry; but the question + my answer will be completely outdated in a week's time, so keeping it around won't help future users.

Esteis over 10 yearsAlso: glad to hear your installation works now. Happy ConTeXting!

Lucas over 10 yearsConTeXt is supercool :-) I also think we should close this question.
