I have also done the following since the first e-mail:
- Copied the contents of "texexec.rme" to "texexec.ini"
OK
- Uncommented the "set TeXShell to miktex" line in the new "texexec.ini" file.
- Added the string "C:\texmf\miktex\context\perltk" to the PATH (however, there is no "context" or "perltk" folder in the "miktex" folder. Shouldn't there be?)
As far as I remember, apart from installing Perl (ActivePerl) and adding it to PATH, I only had to add MikTeX's bin directory to PATH. Have you also generated the formats?

The files have Unix end of line characters, so Notepad and other Windows-only editors will just give you a long string of garbage, as you discovered. Hans has put a lot of work in making Scite work nicely with ConTeXt, so you might find that helpful. Other users have their favorites (Emacs, jEdit, etc.). Good luck, Matthew
