[MiKTeX] Weird problem in TeXworks but not command-line

[Sébastien L. <sl...@gm...>]

Dear Miktex-Users,

I have a baffling issue.

I put this in bug.tex using TeXworks:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathabx}
\begin{document}
$$\vvvert$$
\footnotesize
$$\vvvert$$
\end{document}

Then I build using the green "play" button in TeXworks. This is the output
I get:

This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)

I can confirm that no PDF file is generated. Then, I open a command line
window using cmd.exe. I do this:

I can confirm that this PDF file is properly created.

When I first got this problem, I uninstalled Miktex and reinstalled.
Problem showed up again. I uninstalled and then reinstalled, but then I
made sure to download all the packages. Still the same problem as above.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
