I tried with the last beta version, but the problem is still the same.
Perhaps 
there is something wrong with my ini file.
The format file is found but it appears that when it is passed to pdftex,
there
is no double quotes around it. In the MikTeX distribution it seems that the
format passed to pdftex has to be enclosed around quotes. When I try the
command :
        pdftex    "&d:\\cont-en.fmt" test.tex
 then I get a correct test.dvi file. But no pdf file. (The output is at the
end)

Is there a way to  automaticly put quotes as above with texexec ? Could
that be the problem ?
