Yes, you'll need both Ruby and Perl. Both are scripting languages.
You must have missed the discussion about this earlier today, but no 
problem, it got wikified:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#Stand-alone_ConTeXt_distribution


If you like to use command interface and unix type command line tools, 
you can install cygwin on your Windows and with Cygwin you get perl and 
ruby.
Cygwin is available at http://www.cygwin.com/ - the "Install or update 
now" link is made for us Windows dummies, it'll tell you what to do.


So: Either follow the nine-step program given in the wiki (link above) 
or install cygwin and continue the nine-step program from step 3 
(although, judging by your question and my own experience with the same 
issue, the only things you miss at this point are Ruby and possibly 
Perl). Whichever way, somehow you need to make sure you have Ruby and 
Perl on your machine before things start to work.


Hope this helps,


Mari
