Org-mode uses

  pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode file.tex

file.tex is first passed through shell-quote-argument before
being inserted into the command.

Please check in Emacs what evaluating

    (shell-quote-argument "c:path\to\file")

gives you and then try to run the pdflatex command
from the command line.

I guess the problem must be that pdflatex does not exist as as command,
or that there is a problem with the quoting......
