A better place to ask would probably be the mailing list
help-gnu-emacs, but:

Try diff or ediff to make sure.

That means that the entire s-expr (extract-window ... nil)))) is
being interpreted as a function, which is caused by the fact that
it is the first element of the list ((extract-window ... nil)))))
(note extra pair of parens). Since such an s-expr cannot be a
function, you get an error.
The fact that it is interpreted as a function indicates that the
byte compiler doesn't know that `flet' is a macro, which in turn
indicates that you haven't loaded the required library.
Note that the documentation for `flet' says that it has been
obsolete since Emacs 24.3 and that you should be using `cl-flet'
instead (or `cl-letf', but that doesn't seem to be what you want).
So best thing to do is to replace `flet' with `cl-flet' and then
add `(require 'cl-lib)' somewhere at the top of your init file,
and you should be good to go.
Why you're only getting this error on one machine isn't entirely
clear to me. It could be that something changed between Emacs 24
and 25 that causes this, it could be that you're loading a package
on the Windows machine that loads cl or cl-lib and that you don't
use on Emacs.
