Problem compiling document

Hi,

I am a latex user trying to extend my knowledge to include ConTeXt. I have installed TeXLive2010 along with some latex editors including TeXWorks. The file attached when run using the Texworks menu item(ConTeXt) or command line texexec option produce the following:

MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.524 seconds
TeXExec | processing document 'sample-letter-test.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file sample-letter-test.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 510
TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (MiKTeX 2.8)
initexmf: Unknown format name/engine: cont-en/pdfTeX
I can't find the default format file!
TeXExec | runtime: 0.276


Is there something I'm missing? What exactly is the format file mentioned here? The actual document I am trying to typeset is attached. Thanks.

Your system appears to be confused. You mention texlive 2010,
but this message:

>

comes from a miktex-supplied binary, not a texlive one.

Best wishes,
Taco
