finding cont-en.fmt

finding cont-en.fmt

[Alan Bowen]

I just updated to the latest versions of teTeX and ConTeXt via Gerben’s  
i-installer and now, when I run a file through ConTeXt, I get the  
following report:
________________________________

Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'.

I can't find the format file `context.fmt'!

___________________________________
  According to the installer log, both cont-en.fmt and context.fmt were  
installed. I checked the list archive and see that two others had this  
problem about a month ago, but could not find any subsequent solutions.  
So, I would be most grateful for any pointers now.

Cheers, Alan
