For one reason or another it does not work. I think because the batch setups an environment and does not compile the source. I do not get an error message, but the pdf is not generated. When I open a DOS prompt, I need to execute the batch file to get context recognized as a command. When I execute context after executing the batch file, the pdf is generated. But when I change the batch file for: C:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/context.exe The compilation is started, but does not work correctly, because the environment is not set correctly. I tried executing the batch file to set the environment, but that is not recognised in TeXworks. I first tried to change the batch file and let it start TeXworks. That worked, but then I had a better idea. In step four I set the path to: C:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin And now it works completely correct I think. -- Cecil Westerhof
