The next version available in https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 is 0.74.0 and didn't work. I don't know if there are versions between?

I have tried this on a XP machine, but I got LuaTeX 0.79.1 and context 2013.11.01 (which I had bevor the mtxrun on that machine). I also tried the above command without the --update option. But same result.

If LuaTeX runs, fetch ConTeXt from git: * https://github.com/contextgarden/context/ * http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context/ (or from elsewhere). The switch --context= became pretty much useless as there are no more regular "current" releases of ConTeXt. With git you get access to more versions. The script mtxrun contains some instructions about how one could run it: LUATEXDIR=/../texmf/scripts/context/lua luatex --luaonly mtxrun.lua "$@" If you translate that syntax to a mtxrun.bat, it will probably work. Or you can try to compile mtxrun yourself.

At least mtxrun.exe should work with older Windows versions! The problem is that at some point a different network related library was introduced and most programs (not only luatex) after some years end up using the new stuff. Windows has a quite good track record for long term support of binaries but there are limits. Compiling binaries themselves is normally not on the user's agenda.

You might be able to fetch and old TeX Live from the archive. ftp://ftp.tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/ Akira's recent binaries don't support Windows 2000 any longer, that's for sure, but he's using Visual Studio. There is a reasonable chance that you might be able to compile luatex yourself with MinGW (maybe Taco's binaries are working) and maybe that would work even with the latest version of LuaTeX. But you need to try yourself. You are probably the only ConTeXt user on Windows 2000 ;) Mojca ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
