Hm. When I look at the code, it looks like texexec cannot find it's ini
file. Did you copy texexec.rme to texexec.ini and checked its content?

When set up ok, texexec will pass the appropriate switch
progname=context to pdftex, which will make sure it can identify the
right mem values in texmf.cnf

I will send you the latest, updated fptex make utility (there was a bug
in previous ones) in a separate mail. Untested, but reported ok by
Stazek.
There is a new installation manual, which explains installing texexec; a
dedicated miktex section will be added in a few days (Walter Kehowski
had a smooth installation).

(btw, I run fptex binaries, not the whole system, in a somewhat unusual
texmf tree)
