Still no luck. Here is some info:

ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

\texmf-context\scripts\context\ruby>texmfstart texexec
ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

I ran the above in the directory with the scripts.

Is there a setup or ini file where I need to change the path?

I compared my old setuptex.bat with the new one. No real clues yet.

\texmf-context\scripts\context\ruby is in the PATH, rebooted

Any ideas? What has changed since the last mswincontext, other that the  
switch from -local/ to -context/?

Best wishes
Idris
