That was exectly my point. If I said, from the prompt,

I get the same message you got.***** When I initialize my editor first  
(see the cscite script that somes with the larger versions of the  
distribution), then I can launch a console or shell from the editor and it  
works.

Try launching your shell by appropriately modifying the cscite shell  
script. Here it is to save you trouble.

Now on Windows the script is quite different, and longer, but once I setup  
my launch application (notepad++ in this case) mkiv worked fine. I don't  
pretend to understand why.

***** The thing about that error is that, when I run

texmfstart texexec test.tex

mkiv creates another cache tree and ignores the one where it built the  
formats.
