bug#31079: Windows - Emacs-25.3.1 Can't find source.tex file

[Liyu Gong]

Hi Joe,

I run pdflatex via windows command prompt, and produced a pdf file.
The output message of the command is pasted below. My texlive was
installed at C:\texlive. However, I just moved the aa.tex to C:\aa.tex
then tried to compile it through AucTeX, the same error occurs again.

Anyway, if nobody could reproduce the problem. I guess there must be
something weird in my system. :)

Best,
Liyu
