Sorry, this step is missing on Wiki (forgotten).

Can you try the following:

Open command line (Start->Run->cmd) and do either a) or b):
a) "cd" to directory where cdemo.bat resides, execute it and exit
(this will set the path for you)

b) execute (this should be in one line):
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex
(change "C:\Programs\context" to the proper folder)

Then execute
texexec --make --all

The last one is the crucial step for making formats.

Perhaps "making formats" should be present in menu in Scite (perhaps
it already is, I can't check from here).
