The generated command is correct. mtxrun messes up the quotes.

It should be -u NONE (all capitals)

Great.

It is mtxrun related. It works in linux, so it could be windows related. I 
do not have a windows machine to test (and not enough diskspace to install 
windows on a VM).

As a last resort, what does the log file say for this (all in one line)

mtxrun --verbose --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -e -C -n -V10log -c \"set
tabstop=8\" -c \"syntax on\" -c \"set syntax=c\" -c \"let
contextstartline=1\" -c \"let contextstopline=0\" -c \"source
c:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim\" -c \"wqa\"
\"vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp\" "


If this does not work, does replacing bin:vim with bin:gvim work?
