first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system

[Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد]

Dear gang,

In the past I updated to the latest via installing cont-tmf.zip (and  
luatex.exe if needed) manually, but recently I switched to  
first-setup.bat. I got things working on one 64-bit machine (vista), and  
want to set up context on another (windows7), also 64-bit. Normally all I  
need to to do is zip/rar the tree, move it to the second machine, and  
voila, I'm up and running. This time, however, it doesn't work; when I run  
a file I get

=====================
This is LuaTeX, Version 0.97.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX)
  system commands enabled.
.
<*>
  cont-yes.mkiv
?
=====================

as well as a complaint from windows7:

=====================
Assertion failed!

Program: C:\<path>\luatex.exe
File: variable.c
line: 36

Expression: kpse -> program_name
=====================

What do these two complaints each mean?

After this, I tried running first-setup.bat again on the windows7 machine,  
got the following errors:

=====================

=====================

Since I don't use mkii I ignored these errors and moved on, although both  
files are there in the tree - and I do not get this error on the  
original/vista machine. In any case, when I now run a file I get the same  
two luatex errors as at the beginning of this message.

What's going on here? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance and

Best wishes
Idris
