OK, that means that environment settings (the way it's done in the installer) apparently have no effect on Vista. You could teoretically try to set set CYGWIN=nontsec somewhere globally, then it would work at the beginning at least, but it probably wouldn't set the global variables properly anyway. What I usually did was creating a file pragmatex.bat like C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex and then called "pragmatex" to initialize the environment every time I wanted to use it.

One thing that you can try is this installer:

http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalInst... That one will install ConTeXt, but has not been tested on Vista yet

I've got a spare Windows Vista Basic (ENG) in a corner somewhere, I can try on that one so nobody has to mess up with a system they actually need. Bugreports will probably be forthcoming within the next week. :)

...about time to start upgrading to MKIV anyway, I'm still running on MKII as can't risk the installation on the main computer right now...

Any bug reports welcome - but only Vyatcheslav knows how to solve the ones with installer. Mojca
