I have found that this is not texexec but solely MiKTeX problem, the problem is that it seems that MiKTeX accept only restricted lenght of its arguments and cuts off the rest of argument for each of arguments separately, so if your TeXFormatPath contains f:/LocalTeXMF/miktex/fmt, then command line argument --undump=f:/LocalTeXMF/miktex/fmt/cont-en are cut after /miktex, so TeX think you wish to use miktex.efmt, not cont-en.efmt. Once you changed --undump= to &, command line are shorter and ain't cut off. I don't know whether it's fixed in MiKTeX 2.1. Olya
