I would say it's a broken ruby installation, or some other file is broken, but I cannot find anything in ConTeXt, maybe in standalone ConTeXt environment ... I tried moving all setuptex.bat variables to the global XP environment variables. Then I could make a pdftex format without cscite.bat. But I could not run any pdftex files because texexec keeps looking for the format in -local/web2c/pdftex instead of -mswin\web2c\pdftex. I've removed those global variables and again trying to get setuptex/cscite.bat/pdftex working. Can you try to find a string ubygems in some .rb file?

Re: [NTG-context] texmfstart texexec
Hi Hans, Mojca, and all, I uninstalled ruby and reinstalled: no joy. Then I uninstalled ruby and reinstalled without installing RubyGems. Believe it or not that worked! I can compile the format and run mkii now. This still leaves open the question as to how RubyGems and cscite.bat (which is the source of npp.bat for notepad++) are interfering with each other in the new minimals/maximal (what is ubygems without the r anyway?). Might be worth investigating at some point...
