So if you thought this would be useful (actually it may depend on whether an

It *is* necessary if some new files appear. The problem was that
usually the wrong mtxrun was called which had zero effect since it
possibly updated the cache in TeX Live or some other ConTeXt
distribution (under another path).
You can try the following:
- make sure that there is no tex in your path (set PATH ...)
- delete texmf-cache
- delete some files (for example context.mkiv and a few random other files)
- call first-setup.bat (the modified version that I sent you without
an explicit mtxrun --generate)
- call setuptex (or manually set PATH)
- try to compile some file
The mtxrun --generate at the end of script doesn't really help since
already the format generation is broken if some new files arrive.
I updated Ctx yesterday.
I installed the new version of Ctx to an empty directory and I checked all
TeX-related PATHs to not point to any TL directory (actually, the PATH doesn't
point to any TL or Ctx directory - all this is performed by an appropriate
batch which is called in the scope and just before compilation of a Ctx
source); so I guess all previous auto-generated files and/or cache got unused.
I wrote a step-by-step report which I intended to send to you as I was "afraid"
that I would have to call 'mtxrun --generate' explicitly.
But it was not necessary - I was able to compile a sample Ctx source without any problem
"as it was".
Not today.
Now, if I want to compile a Ctx file, I'm getting:
---
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
---
I know that 'mtxrun --generate' will repair this (as it always did so far).
- But I'm wondering about why 'mtxrun' doesn't find the 'context.lua' today
although it did yesterday.
(I'm aware of cache directory, in my case at
'c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\context\f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c\'. Does
Ctx/mxtrun generate also any [temporary] files elsewhere, e.g. in "Document and Settings"
or "Application Data" or where TMP/TEMP system variable points?)
Could you explain, please?
Best regards,
Lukas
