running ConTeXt from the new DVD

running ConTeXt from the new DVD

Hello,

I just got the new DVD, TeX Collection 2005, tried to run cdemo.bat
and to compile one of the sample documents, but:

>texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf demo-tex.tex
TeXExec | processing document 'demo-tex.tex'
TeXExec | provide ctx file
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
TeXExec | progname: context
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5)
 \write18 enabled.
I can't find the format file `pdfetex.fmt'!
pdfetex: unrecognized option `--alias=context'
pdfetex: unrecognized option `--undump=cont-en'
TeXExec | runtime: 3.315
>Exit code: 0

----------------------------------------------------------------

texexec --make --all
cannot be executed since the CD is not writable. Can this be overcome
anyhow, is there a problem specific to my PC or is this distribution
on DVD unusable as such?

(I often have similar "format missing" problems when I update MikTeX
but then the problem disappers when I reboot the computer - not that I
understand why since I refresh the database and remake all the formats
each time anyway.)

Thank you,
    Mojca

cdemo is using the minimal but it looks like miktex is loaded and not 
the minimal binary ... there was a fix for this recently but that will 
not work when running from cd
