Problem with AUCTeX on Windows

Problem with AUCTeX on Windows

[Pascal Quesseveur]

Hello,

I get the following error when trying to compile a latex source
file with Emacs on Windows. My configuration is:

emacs-version=22.1.1
system-configuration=i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600
AUCTeX-version=11.85
TeXLive 2005

Problem occurs when I launch M-x shell (cmdproxy.exe) before
activating latex. Everything is Ok when I don't launch shell or when I
use eshell.

I got similar problem with an older version of AUCTeX (11.53).

It's just one \ too much before the word "input" – do you have some  
customisation active? Does the same happen when you launch GNU Emacs  
with "--no-site-file" or  "--no-init-file" or with both?

To make testing easy you can create a little ELisp file(s) that loads  
or does not load shell and sets up AUCTeX and add to GNU Emacs'  
invocation: -l <path to your little ELisp file>.

OK. Thank you. I found I have variable w32-quote-process-args set to
character " in a shell-mode hook. When I remove that setting (then
w32-quote-process-args is true) latex runs fine after shell has been
activated.
