Did a \jobname.synctex.gz file get created? I'm guessing not, which
would mean that the necessary synctex option was not passed to the
engine.
What version of MikTeX was installed? I think synctex requires at
least 2.7; and if the system has MikTeX 2.8, then it includes a custom
build of texworks, which presumably is configured properly, so it
would make sense to use that rather than install a separate copy.
