All,
I just installed Miktex 2.2 and got this error message when trying to build
Context format. Anyone else get this? What is the workaround?
Creating cont-en.efmt...
pdfetex.exe --ini --interaction=nonstopmode --halt-on-error --alias cont-en
*F:/miktex/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex \dump
! You have to increase POOLSIZE.
INITEXMF: pdfetex.exe failed on cont-en.tex
I checked miktex.ini and found:
;; Maximum number of characters in strings, including all
;; error messages and help texts, and the names of all fonts and
;; control sequences; must exceed string_vacancies by the total
;; length of TeX's own strings, which is currently about 23000.
pool_size=500000
Is this what I should increase? Or is there some other sinister thing that
needs taking care of?

Two things to do:
find the [ConTeXt] section in your local miktex.ini and add
pool_size=1000000
(that's a 1 with 6 zeros); also, pdfetex should be called with
--alias=context, not --alias cont-en ... how are you generating
the format?
