{{Note | You will need admin rights to your Windows to manage the installation process. If you don't have that, get somebody who does.}}
These instructions apply to ConTeXt versions from September 19, 2011. If you have used the ConTeXt-SciTe combo earlier, remove all .properties files from your user folder and check that your SciTe is version 2.26 or newer (the newest version, at the time of writing 2.29 , is recommended).
==Install ConTeXt==
===Step 1: Get Download and unzip the installer===
Download [http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip context-setup-mswin.zip] onto your computer. It contains a folder called <tt>context</tt>, '''unzip/extract that folder into the location where you want your final ConTeXt installation'''. It is recommended not to use folders with space in their name.
Mari usually puts hers directly onto the main hard disk, i.e. C, so ConTeXt is normally located at <tt>C:\context</tt> on her Windows computers (both XP, Vista and W7).
===Step 2: Get Use installer to get the ConTeXt Suite===
Now go to your ConTeXt folder (e.g. <code>C:\context</code>). Run file <tt>first-setup</tt> (= <tt>first-setup.bat</tt>).
===Step 2: Fetch and install lexer add-in===
The ConTeXt versions dated September 20, 2011, or later use ''external lexers'' and for that you have to [http://code.google.com/p/scintillua/downloads/list Download the lexer add-in zip] (just get the top-most file of those listedin the download directory).
Then extract/unzip the contents of the lexer zip into a temporary directory. You get a directory <tt>scintillua''xxx-n''</tt> (e.g. <tt>scintillua229-1</tt>). Go to that directory and copy everything in it to your SciTe folder.
