That shows a problem that I would relate to the shell.
BTW, I find your filepath quite weird, with c\:/Users... I'm sure there is a
quoting problem there. What happens if you try M-x ffap on that path? Does
Emacs recognize it?

Hence, your org-mode config is not important; the one which is, is the one
about shell. Something such as:
#+begin_src sh
;; for single shell commands
(setq shell-file-name
;; must be in the `PATH' (Windows users)
(cond ((executable-find "bash") "bash")
((executable-find "cmdproxy.exe") "cmdproxy.exe")
(t "cmd.exe"))) ;; = system shell
;; use `shell-file-name' as the default shell
(when (try-require 'env)
(setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name))
;; switch used to have the shell execute its command line argument
;; (`/c' does not work with XEmacs)
(setq shell-command-switch
(cond ((eq shell-file-name "cmd.exe") "/c") ; using a system shell
(t "-c")))
;; quote process arguments to ensure correct parsing on Windows
(setq w32-quote-process-args
(cond ((eq shell-file-name "cmd.exe") nil) ; using a system shell
(t t)))
#+end_src

HTH.
