All,
A colleague of mine did an update of his miktex. Now his context
won't work with this error:
TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
warning : texexec.ini not found, try 'texexec --verbose'
TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
current path : C:/Book/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter3
locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.ini on scripts
locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.ini elsewhere
locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.rme on scripts
locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.rme elsewhere
locating ini file : not found by kpsewhich
locating ini file : not found by searching
locating ini file : no environment variable set
locating ini file : not found in own path
warning : texexec.ini not found, did you read
'texexec.rme'?
This was working before the Miktex update. Miktex has a texexec.exe
in a bin/ file. That's the one being used, but we cannot find any
instance of texexec.ini in the miktex tree. I don't think Miktex uses
the ini file.
Anyone know what's going on here?
Alternatively, could I get a suggestion for a good miktex
installation of context using the zip file from Pragma?

No idea. I was using Miktex context for some time, but found it too
cumbersome to work with. For context, miktex update is too slow. There
is no particular advantage of using miktex for context. I have two
parallel trees here, one for miktex and one for context and everything
works fine.
If hard disk space is not an issue and you do not mind installing
ruby, you can instal the windows installation from pragma in a
different (from Miktex texmf and localtexmf trees) directory. Use
setuptex.bat to add the pragma binaries to the path only when you need
them. This way, you can keep on using latex from miktex and can
context from pragma.
