Thank-you very much for the above. Still a few problems though!

I have installed it to C:\tools\context. Everything goes well until
'mktexlsr' which returns:
 Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-project/ls-R to write.
 Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-fonts/ls-R to write.
 Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-extra/ls-R to write.
because the folders do not exist. So I've created empty folders just in
case and no more warnings!

Then all goes well until 'context --pdf myfile.tex' which returns:
 luatex.exe:
c:/tools/context/texmf-cache/tuatex-cache/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt:
 No such file or directory
 MtxRun | fatal error, code 1

and 'texexec --pdf myfile.tex' returns:
 c:\tools\context\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:8603: attempt to concatenate a
nil value

Any ideas?
