You need to run something like (single line!!!):

C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex

in command prompt. For "texexec --module --pdf core-tab.tex" to work
you need to be in context base folder (tex/context/base; kpse makes
sure that you find & take the proper file automatically), and you
probably need to report a few problems in the source to be able to
compile that particular source file :)
