This is how I got it to work.
# Create a file <code>pragmatex.bat</code> (the name doesn't really matter) with this content: <pre>C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex</pre> and make sure that this file is visible by <code>PATH</code>.
# You can safely continue using your old TeX distribution (MikTeX, TeX Live, ...). If you want to invoke the stand-alone distribution, just execute <pre>pragmatex</pre> from the command-line and all the subsequent calls to <code>texexec</code> will use files from the stand-alone tree (you'll notice the difference in file names when running ConTeXt).
# To avoid the need to open a new prompt each time you want to run ConTeXt, create another .bat file in your .tex file's folder with the following content:
<pre>call C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\pragmatex.bat
context filename.tex</pre>
If you place the <code>pragmatex</code> file in your ConTeXt directory, this will allow you to call ConTeXt from anywhere on your computer with one click. The disadvantage is that it's linked to a specific .tex file.
