Well I deleted MiKTeX from my system path completely and now when I try to compile a *.tex file that is clearly a ConTeXt document I only get another error message:

> pdflatex -file-line-error -halt-on-error "untitled-3.tex"
Der Befehl "pdflatex" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
> exit status: 1

Which means that no compiler can be found... I am a little stuck here, mainly because I can't figure where I can change paths and arguments for Textadept or SciTE. SciTE also only gives me an error:

>texexec --pdf test1.tex
warning: f:/Sandbox/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49: (kpathsea) No cnf value on line: OSFONTDIR =. This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) (preloaded format=cont-en)
 \write18 enabled.
---! f:/Sandbox/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-win64/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt doesn't match pdftex.pool
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
>Exit code: 1

But I did everything as explained on contextwiki. It seems that both programs don't even search for CTX...

In TeXworks or TeXnicCenter I haven't had any trouble to make CTX my main compiler. But both programs have an option where one can add new compiler profiles with location for the compiler and arguments that can be passed. In both I simply entered context.exe and my arguments.
But Textadept and SciTE aren't as easy to configure as TW or TXNCC.

Where can I change how and with which program they compile documents? If anybody has an idea, I am still open for it.


Greetings, Sebastian

Hi !

I don't know Textadept (I'm using TeXWorks). And it is not a good idea to have 
ConTeXt working in parallel with MikTeX (see here : 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MikTeX).
This should work fine as long as PATH is different when invoking LaTeX
& ConTeXt.

I haven't touched MikTeX since it lost support for ConTeXt (perhaps
some 8 years ago?), but the last time I did, adding path to ConTeXt
binaries worked fine.

Of course one cannot use MikTeX and ConTeXt with the same PATH settings.

(ConTeXt used to be part of MikTeX, but apparently CS gave up at some
point when LuaTeX came around.)
