MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting
I'm a moderate context user (finished a 100 page math text recently) and haven't had too many problems except for downloading an occasional beta which has an issue or two. My book compiles just fine on my office computer, but I installed context and get compilation errors on my home laptop (a windows 7 box). I've been able to work through all other problems with context up to this point, sometimes waiting a day or two until someone uploaded a fix in the new beta, but for some reason I've gotten stuck on this one. I installed context via: - Download of context-setup-mswin.zip - unzip to c:\context - run of first-setup.bat (with no args, and same happens with --context=current) - After running, I go to the tex/ directory and run the setuptex.bat - Go back to c:\context and run a test file with just \starttext TEST \stoptext using "context test.tex" - I get the error "MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting" I also tried using TeXworks, using compilation using texmfstart.exe and texexec. That compiled the original test.tex, but refuses to compile any .tex code with metapost. What, in most cases, does the "MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting" error indicate? I know that odds are I missed something stupid, but just can't figure it out this time. Thank you for your help and your time. Paul

Try doing: luatools --generate context --make Regards, -- Vedran Miletić
Worked... although I need to know why :-)
What didn't work when I just installed the minimals, and what did
luatools --generate and context --make do?
Thank you!

Apart from what Vedran told you ... this should have been fixed (but only after we have generated the zips), so that luatools --generate should run automatically when no filename database is found. (But you cannot test it unless we re-run the script to rebuild the zips.) Mojca
