There should be no need to add aleph.exe to your path if you just refresh the fndb,

Assuming of course that u put aleph.exe in TeXLive/bin or somewhere similar

Idris

It was in TeXLive/bin/win32-static and now I copied it to the regular TeXLive/bin/win32. Then again I executed the commands you recommended (with aleph as eomega), and tried to texexec my file afterwards, but again it didn't work. The process stopped with a "*" - see log below. Could you have a look, please?
