Hi Eric,

I'm using the following version of org-mode and Emacs:

commit cae9f947beb5f529569a7eb33b460e670fb8ff97
Author: Eric Schulte <schulte.eric@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Aug 30 14:50:26 2011 -0600

Emacs: GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)
 of 2011-03-10 on 3249CTO

The error says: Error: dot: can't open
c\:/Users/bas/AppData/Local/Temp/babel-2652SMW/dot-2652b4h

running:
dot -Tpng \Users\bas\AppData\Local\Temp\babel-2652SMW\dot-2652b4h -o
test.png

in a cmd window works fine and generates the png I would expect.

About my configuration, I don't know if there is anything weird in it. For
reference I appended the org-mode part of my .emacs at the bottom of this
message.

Do you know anybody who has a Windows box that can reproduce/investigate
this problem?

Thanks for your quick response.

Regards,

Bas Bossink
