$>"C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb" texexec
ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

This makes no sense: texexec.rb and texmfstart.rb are in the same  
directory! I wonder why texmfstart can't find texexec...

$>texmfstart --path  
"C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\ruby\texexec.rb" test.tex

gives no error but does nothing else but return the command prompt.

did that and relogged in: does not work.

XP already associates .rb files with the ruby interpreter.
