Texify gives un-informative error message when wrong engine given #106

Closed marczellm closed 4 years ago

This happens:

$ D:\Marci\tex\biblatest> texify -p -b --engine=xelatex .\mscthesis.tex
ERROR: MiKTeX encountered an internal error.
ERROR: Info:
ERROR: Source: Programs\MiKTeX\texify\mcd.cpp
ERROR: Line: 416

Sorry, but "MiKTeX Compiler Driver" did not succeed.

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

I should have written --engine=xetex. But the error message doesn't help in finding that. It could say 'unknown engine' or it could even use xetex automatically.
