Well, there was something in the path that was interfering with 
context.

set PATH=E:\Ruby\bin
E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex

works correctly. I do not know what was interfering, I'll look into 
everything in my path one by one see what was going wrong.

Sorry about all the noise.
