What exactly happens?  What versions of Emacs and AUCTeX are you
using?

If I had to take a guess, the problems will likely go away if you add
two quotes between the viewer and the file name.

But I think putting the whole path to the viewer into
`TeX-output-view-style' is unpleasant anyway.  So what I would do is
download the latest Emacs/AUCTeX bundle for Windows from the AUCTeX
homepage, get rid of the customization of `TeX-output-view-style' and
put (require 'tex-mik) into the init file.  Once you have done this
your system-wide default viewer for PDF files will be invoked when you
preview a PDF file.
