  The problem is that the main exe is not the engine. The engine EXE is kind of hidden.
  
  I was able to find the engine by using the SysInternals tool "Process Explorer". By starting Komodo and running Process Explorer I found that the main Komodo program launches the engine EXE as a child process.
  
  The location of this child process on my Windows XP machine was the following:
  
  C:\Program Files\Common Files\ChessBase\Engines.uci\Komodo 10\
  
  By browsing to the exe in this folder in the UCI engine selection shown in the question, it worked.
