While I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm absolutely
certain that it worked perfectly yesterday, ConTeXt is broken:
C:\ConTeXt>path

And then I deleted it all, reinstalled Minimals, and get exactly the
same result. Is my luck really this bad? What to do?

you're missing a texmfcnf.lua file
this file is really needed to jumstart ... its location is either
determined automatically (relative to binary) or by an environment variable

You can try
#> cd C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua
#> luatools --generate

Are the binaries in C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin or
C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin? That is - with or without tex? The
information above is a bit confusing. What does
mtxrun --generate
return you?
Apart from that - you are welcome to test if ConTeXt works fine on MikTeX (2.9).

In the path the first entry is
PATH=C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin;
That is, then 'with tex.'

It continues to work just fine on my TeXLive 2010 installation, but I
don't think it ever worked on MikTeX 2.8 (the version I have installed).
I'm quite puzzled why a fresh installation (twice now) gives exactly the
same result.

Did you by any chance set the variable TEXMF in your environment? I
guess not, but in my case both TEMF and TEXMFCNF are empty. In your
case they are both set wrong. What else do you have in C:\ConTeXt\
besides "bin", "tex", "first-setup.bat" and "status-of-update.lua"?

After much ado, I finally got everything working again. I deleted
everything (as usual), and then simplified my PATH (removing Cygwin and
MikTeX, among others), cleaned up my environment variables ... and did a
fresh install. I got a cramp from having my fingers crossed the whole
time, but a functional ConTeXt came out at the end.
Now, back to work! Thanks everyone for your help.
Tom.
