[NTG-context] Windows Installer
Hi, I noticed broken link to my GUI Windows installer here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation. Does someone use it? (I do, because it's simple to start). If community wants me to update it, pls, contact me. Regards, V.

This means that rsync works OK (otherwise you would be getting the same error report as last time: "The application failed to initialize properly"). What makes mo wonder now is: why doesn't the installer work? Perhaps the environmental variables aren't set up properly? You may try one more thing: can you try to set CYGWIN=nontsec globally (I have no windows here to tell you the exact procedure - if you don't know how to do that, please ask again; it's somewhere in System->Advanced->Environmental variables->...). and then rum the installer again? But it really makes mo wonder where it goes wrong. I had a winows machine yesterday, but apparently the network had rsync port closed, so rsync didn't work at all (and installer reported: "installed successfully"). > > Then, please try to run the following (from command and "cd > > path-to-unzipped-stuff\bin"): > >set CYGWIN=nontsec > >rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/mswin/bin/texlua.exe . > > and then see if texlua still has any problems.

I believe you should just support the whole mswincontext, and install it in C:\ConTeXt etc. Please do not use C:\Program Files ;-) Perhaps the docs should be an install option, as they are quite huge. Some things like the complete TeX-Gyre font suite need to be added to mswincontext or given as an option. There are other modules as well that might make good options for the installer. > In general, I believe that if classical Windows installer for ConTeXt > were available, it would gain more popularity and appreciation.

My only real question is how to also support a minimal LaTeX distribution side-by-side. I hardly use it, but many of us still have legacy documents we need to process now and then. Maybe we can take the LaTeX portion of XemTeX and make it an install option as well. A couple years back I actually dumped the XemTeX LaTeX files into my C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf tree and it worked (and mswincontext is closer to fpTeX/Fabrice's way than to the MiKTeX way AKAIK). Since ConTeXt always uses \texmf-local there was no conflict. OTOH there may be other issues... maybe a dedicated \texmf-latex tree branch is called for...

[NTG-context] Windows Installer for MsWinContext
Hello, I'm back with my idea of installer for mswincontext distribution. I successfully use my local (post-install) version , which simply sets env. vars, but I feel there is need for more. Anticipating new mswincontext build, I can implement the installer for it using free Inno Setup software. The controversy is about setup file content. I see it as whole mswincontext, because it is declared as minimal distribution (so, nothing can be thrown away). However, I was suggested on this list to make some parts downloadable on demand, so I need to ask: what parts to make?
