Basically, you need to generate the formats.

run

luatools --generate

and

luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en

I noticed similar problem (texexec --lua fails without any useful 
message) when I tried to install context on a new machine. I simply 
downloaded context standalone installation, unzipped it, and ran 
texexec --lua file. With pdftex this used to work because the formats 
were located in the texmf tree. However, AFAIU, mkiv wants the 
standards to be in the TEXMFCACHE directory (which is mapped to the 
TEMP directory). So, simply getting the zip files from pragma does not 
work. You also need to generate the formats.
