The above works for me here.
Could it be that your version of the install-info program doesn't
support compressed Info files? What version of Texinfo do you have
installed?

The file nt/INSTALL recommends to use /c/apps/emacs instead of
c:/apps/emacs as the argument to --prefix. This could be related to
your problem, but even if not, my advice is to do as nt/INSTALL says.
