If Emacs is already running, emacsclientw.exe works fine. (I have .txt files (for example) associated with it with the -n flag.) However, if Emacs is not already running, emacsclient reports an error executing alternate editor ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe"" (The redundant quotes are in the error message from emacsclient.)
I believe that I have set ALTERNATE_EDITOR correctly in the environment variables. Indeed, I have the following line in the output of a SET command: ALTERNATE_EDITOR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe" which emacsclient does seem to be getting correctly. If I put that full path on the command line, it starts Emacs as it should. This worked correctly with Windows 7, and I cannot figure out what might be wrong with my configuration under Windows 8 to cause it. Any suggestions would be welcome.
