I wouldn't have followed the advice to change the path, as I'm using MikTeX too and I know that the path settings might interfer. The command prompt is fine, I can Alt-Tab out of my editor and compile a tex file - that's not too inconvenient.

Compiling a test document actually works, it scanned through the fonts and finished without errors, even with \usemodule[tikz]. Actually using tikz did not work first, but I installed the module and now it works.

And nobody commented the kpathsea601.dll copy!?

depends on how you run tex ... you can try to add the
.../tex/texmf-mswin/bin path to your global PATH variable

If you have another tex installation (Miktex, Texlive), don't do this.

alternatively you can open a cmd prompt and run setuptex (in ../tex)
to initialize the path

First test if this method works. More precisely, run

Path-to-context\tex\setuptex

and then compile a test document using

context test

If you want to run from an editor (take scite as example, description
on wiki) you need to make sure that mtxrun.exe can be found

I would suggest that you first try the command line method. It is much
easier to debug if something goes wrong.
