Hi Bas, Unfortunately I don't have access to a windows machine to reproduce this problem.
Does the temporary file name mentioned in your error report exist, and does it look to be a valid file name? Org-mode uses built-in Emacs functions for creating temporary files, and these functions are supposed to work across Windows/*nix systems, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Are you using the latest version of Org-mode, and do you have anything weird in your configuration which could cause this problem? Sorry I can't be of more help, maybe another windows user on the list can check that dot works for them.
