[XeTeX] Installation problem

I haven't found any xetex.crash.log file on my disk. After having 
uninstall xetex with i-installer, I try to install it again with a 
special look at the subprocessus windows : I got a message concerning 
texhash. In fact the ls-R file in texmf.local was corrupted (there was 
an error on a first line). I don't why because I use a script to 
generate this file. After solving that problem, I configurate xetex 
using i-installer and I got the following message :
xetex: unrecognized option `-efmt=xetex'
Try `xetex --help' for more information.
Error: `xetex -ini -efmt=xetex -progname=xetex *xetex.ini' failed.

I build xetex.xfmt using the following command  xetex -ini -xfmt=xetex 
-progname=xetex xetex.ini with the terminal. It works fine.

Is there a problem in the fmtutil.cnf. But there is nothing in this 
file to chose between -efmt option or -xfmt ?
