I run

runemacs -q -no-site-file --eval "(progn (package-initialize t)
(package-activate 'auctex))"

in the directory C:\tmp, which opened emacs. As you mentioned, the mode
line indicates  LaTeX/P as mode name.

I then opened the file test.tex by using C-x C-f and then  c:/tmp/test.tex,
which opened the file test.tex.

II then run C-c C-c latex, and I got once again the same error message -- I
include it below.

***********
ERROR: I can't find file `test.tex'.

--- TeX said ---
! I can't find file `test.tex'.
--- HELP ---
TeX can't find a file that it needs. If the name of the missing file
has the extension tex, then it is looking for an input file that you
specified---either your main file or another file inserted with an
\input or \include command. If the missing file has the extension sty
, then you have specified a nonexistent document style or style
option.
*********

Would it be possible (if potentially useful) to install an earlier version
of Auctex? The "package-list-packages" route only seems to allow the
installation of the latest version of auctex (13.1).
