You don't need to run that. MikTeX should already generate the format
for you (and it did, otherwise you would not be able to run "texexec
--xtx" at all).
In particular, "texexec --make --xtx en" probably behaves badly on MikTeX since:
- there is no real need for it (you can use miktex's tools to generate format)
- difficult to guess the most appropriate location where the format should go
- Hans doesn't use MikTeX, other users do not care too much, mostly
because of the first reason (there is gui to generate formats)

It's probably somewhere in "Documents and Settings". Try to look for
kpsewhich cont-en.fmt

You can also test with the simplest
\starttext
abc
\stoptext
file - I guess that it should result in the same problem.
Just to make sure: have you updated the MikTeX packages recently? It
looks like you have "new" ConTeXt and old Latin Modern fonts to me,
but I might be wrong.
