[I have ActivePerl.] There are several miktex users on the context list, so I cc this mail them. I still have to update the readme/installation files, but given that you have tex running, installation should not be that hard. (1) make sure you can run texexec from any path (by using a bat file or the runperl.exe launch program) (2) rename texexec.rme to texexec.ini, enable the miktex section, make sure the ini is in the same path as texexec (not needed when using web2c), check the miktex path definitions in the ini file. (3) say: texexec --make to generate a format (--verbose gives a bit more info) after that you should be able to run context.
