After upgrading MikTeX, ConTeXt is working no more.
What exactly is wrong? Do you use MikTeX 2.5 or do you mean "I updated the packages on MikTeX 2.4"? On my computer it's working OK (after submitting quite some bug reports, but all of them were fixed so far).
Since I'm not using LaTeX anymore (ConTeXt rules !!! )
Same for me ;)
I decided to use only the mswincontext package. After downloading it, I followed the intructions in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#Installation_Instructions
but I could not compile the example (demo-tex.tex) In the SciTe windows I receive the following log :
Exec | using randomseed 1152 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en TeXExec | progname: context warning: Could not open char translation file `natural.tcx'. This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.0-beta-20060213 (Web2c 7.5.5) \write18 enabled. I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! TeXExec | runtime: 0.359
Exit code: 1
Then, from the cmd line, I tried to build the formats with the command:
texexec --make --all
That's the proper move.
but I received:

Did you manually remove something or is this a literal transcript of the message? It might be a broken setuptex.bat. What do echo %TEXMF% echo %TEXMFLOCAL% return? You should get something like {$TEXMFOS,$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} and D:\context\usr\local\context\tex\context\texmf-local (Not 100% about the last one, but it should be an approximation.)

Do you have natural.tcx in your folder (.../context/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)? If you have it, the problem probably lies in "mktexlsr" which doesn't find files if environmental variables are not set properly. Or, let me ask another question: how do you "start" context (how do you call setuptex.bat)? Mojca
