Well, I've now got linux reinstalled, so I no longer need Windows.  (Huge
sigh of relief.)  Sorry about the anguished initial email!

 I removed the installer from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/
 because so many people complained about it being non-functional. It is
 even more problematic: they try the installer, it doesn't work, but
 the path remains set, so consequently not even their normal
 distribution works.

 The installer is still accessible in SVN repository:
http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/installer

 Once it starts working again, I will put it back online. Now you have
 more motivation to fix it faster :)

 (And yes, some links on wiki are broken now. But now people get broken
 link, else they would get broken installer.)

Looks like the are problems with my installer and I'm not aware of.

Alasdair McAndrew, can we collaborate on this issue (since I don't have 
Win7 64 bit to do tests?)

I had the same problem.  I was told it was broken for a few years.

Re: [NTG-context] Errors installing ConTeXt on Windows

2011-08-18 Thread Cecil Westerhof
2011/8/18 Alasdair McAndrew amc...@gmail.com

 My laptop running ubuntu died this evening, so as an interim measure I'm
 trying to install ConTeXt on a windows machine, using the GUI ConTeXt
 minimals installer.  However, after only a few seconds of running, I get
 two popup errors: Update Failed: error code: 1,  Make Failed: error code:
 1, after which the installation exits.  Does anybody know what's going on
 here, and how I can get it working?


I just made this work for a client. The parts of the manual that are
interesting I have attached. This installation takes the assumption you are
going to work with MKIV. If you also want to work with MKII you have to
install Ruby.

If you do not want to work with TeXworks, you can skip the second part. :-D
