You need to delete all traces of pdfetex, pdfetex.pool, pdfetex, pdfetex.exe,
pdfetex.dll, trhe pdfetex engine path, etc
If texexec finds something pdfetex, it assumes pdfetex is there (unfortunately
downward compatiility is not one of the strong points of tex distributions;
they often assume wipe-out-install-new.
texexec tries to cope with this as good as possible but we need to take older
binary installations into account (else we could drop any reference to pdfetex)
