Does this happen during update (first-update.bat) or during format generation?
No, not that I can notice. (first-setup.bat and context --generate, context --make don't show any errors.)
If it happens during format generation it could be due to
"chicken-and-egg problem" (luatex cannot update itself). There is
texlua.exe in bin/ and luatex.exe in tex/texmf-mswin/bin. Can you try
to run both separately (luatex --version and texlua --version) and
check their versions?
C:\contextminimal>bin\texlua.exe --version
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009081408 (Web2C 2009) luatex.web >= v14240
C:\contextminimal>tex\texmf-mswin\bin\luatex.exe --version
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009081408 (Web2C 2009) luatex.web >= v14240
One possibility to resolve the problem is to fetch a fresh copy of
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip and
I downloaded it less than 2 hours back. I even tried over-writing(after running first-setup.bat but the version of texlua.exe in the above file is beta-0.40.6…
overwrite the old "bin" folder, or just replace
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/mswin/bin/luatex.dll.
Tried that too… I wonder if its just me :-/
