Problem with:
ln -s

I remove
/bin/etex

Create link:
ln -s /bin/pdfetex.exe /bin/etex

A link is not created but a copy of /bin/etex.exe

$ ls -al /bin/etex*
-rwxr-x---+ 1 fodorb Felhasználók 280064 Mar 10 15:21 /bin/etex.exe

$ ln -s /bin/pdfetex.exe /bin/etex
$ ls -al /bin/etex*
-rwxr-x---+ 1 fodorb Felhasználók 280064 Mar 10 15:21 /bin/etex
-rwxr-x---+ 1 fodorb Felhasználók 280064 Mar 10 15:21 /bin/etex.exe

If I remove /bin/etex.exe, the link is created successfully.
