To reproduce the problem do

Then from the command line try to open a file, for example
emacsclient.exe COPYING
This fails with the message
C:\emacs\u\080104\emacs\bin>emacsclient.exe COPYING
Waiting for Emacs...

I see COPYING on a GNU/Linux Debian distribution with the CVS instance
updated this morning at 10:47 UTC when I do
/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q
M-x server-mode
with the use of
emacsclient /usr/local/src/emacs/etc/COPYING
The value of the DISPLAY variable is:
echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
Also, I can cause COPYING to appear in another frame with
emacsclient -c /usr/local/src/emacs/etc/COPYING
As far as I know, Microsoft uses backslashes rather than forward
slashes; if so and you are using Microsoft only operating system,
unless you do something else, your example would not know of the X
Windowing system.
I see
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/g/include'
Does that windowing system know about the X Windowing system?
