If you are using XP, you must use the "call" command in front of both lines.
If you call a batch file from a batch file simply us call. So in your case

call setuptex c:\context
call texecex foo

enter "help call" to get more information

You have to unset or restore(!) the environment variables (TEXMF,...).
...and the same for the set command: "help set"
There are similar commands for the other Window versions (can't remember).
