server.el creates a file with information that emacsclient needs. By
default that place is ~/.emacs.d/server and the file name is "server"
(both can be modified).

Try doing:

 C:\> SET EMACS_SERVER_FILE=%HOME%\.emacs.d\server\server
 C:\> emacsclient MY_FILE

or

 C:\> emacsclient --server-file=%HOME%\.emacs.d\server\server MY_FILE

(with %HOME% pointing to Emacs' home dir, of course).
