Dear Kirill,

> In TeX Live 2015, not this year,  all of the following work on windows:
>
> pdftex test-test
> pdftex test-t~1
> pdftex c:/somedirectory/test-t~1
> pdftex c:/somedi~1/test-t~1

In the recent releases, the support of 8.3 names, like test-t~1.tex,
was removed. Thus pdftex test-t~1 does not work.
Please don't use short names.

For the directory separator, please use forward slash "/".
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,
Akira
