On winnt/convert 5.5.7-Q16/gs8.11 : works fine for me. For various obscure reasons I don't change my path, so I need to call convert.exe with a full path; but there's no problem with that, and gs is still found.
My impression is that whenever GS reports one of these messages, it almost always has to do with a font not being found. When you installed GS, did you install all its fonts, too? Otherwise try adding to the end of fontmap.gs some lines like
/Courier (c:/windows/fonts/cour.ttf)
(other courier lines similar).
