Does the command work directly in cmd.exe?

That looks okay, but I am currently not running Windows, so I cannot
verify it.

If you do `M-x shell RET' you should get the Windows prompt as a

Unless you are a die-hard XEmacs user you might also check out the
pre-compiled Emacs version downloadable from the AUCTeX site.
