As I understand it, <Stand Alone> ConTeXt requires both Perl *and* Ruby but 
that shouldn't
be the case with MiKTeX and its Package Manager. When I issued the command 
"texexec --version",
MiKTeX intercepted it, found ConTeXt wasn't installed, and the called up MPM 
where it was downloaded
and 'supposedly' installed.

There were no warnings about a missing Perl or Ruby installation; MiKTeX 
reported no installation problems
at all and, in fact, reported ConTeXt as successfully installed at that date 
and time.

If anyone has successfully installed or activated ConTeXt in MiKTeX 2.5, 
please jump in!
