There is still the problem of accented characters in the path and file 
names.
Check if you have any accent there.
So
C:\Documents and 
Settings\Principal\Bureau\travaux-pour-etudiants\test.tex is OK
C:\Documents and Settings\Principal\Bureau\travaux pour 
etudiants\test.tex also, but not
C:\Documents and 
Settings\Principal\Bureau\travaux-pour-étudiants\test.tex for the "é".

Now the space doesn't make problem any more (at least on my machine).
