This looks like a problem with Windows not understanding the
single-quotes I used in that command definition.

Try substituting these lines, with double-quotes instead of single.
You'll probably need to restart Emacs after making the change.

  (add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
               (list "PDFLaTeX" "pdflatex \"\\nonstopmode\\input{%t}\""
                     'TeX-run-LaTeX nil t) t)

Maybe yes, maybe no.  If the makeinfo program itself has problems with
spaces, then there is nothing we can do.  But if it's just a problem
with the Emacs command makeinfo-buffer, then we might be able to work
around it.  Try this hack:

(defun easymacs-makeinfo-buffer ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((buffer-file-name
         (when (buffer-file-name)
           (concat "\"" (buffer-file-name) "\""))))
    (makeinfo-buffer)))

(define-key Texinfo-mode-map (kbd "<f12>")  'easymacs-makeinfo-buffer)

Let me know if that fixes the problem.

Best wishes,

Peter
