Thanks for your responses. I should have specified that I am using Linux (Ubuntu). I don't have any previous SciTE configuration files in my home directory.
I used the instructions from contextgarden and scite-context-readme.pdf, including creating a launch script that sets the PATH to include my context standalone binary. What I don't understand now is that SciTE finds the correct standalone binary but uses texexec to run mkii instead of mkiv as is supposed to be the defuault: ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.31 15:44 MKII and calls an old pdftex from a separate TexLive installation: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) Any suggestions?
