I uninstalled and installed again because it couldn't build the format for ConTeXt. Now it builds but texexec --version does not produce any output. MikTex help list says one should have perl and ruby - which I have (I checked the environment variables and ruby is not there; this can be the cause but I don't know how to add it).

I didn't say this (bellow quoted), it is written in one of the manuals (mp-cb-en.pdf), page 4: >> "CONTEXT expects a plain ASCII input file.
