I can't reproduce the problem on windows 10 + miktex 32bit. But

- don't use spaces in folder/file names
- don't call texify (and other applications) with absolute files
names. 
- don't use texify at all - imho it is a pain. It fails constantly
and its error messages are bad. If you want a tool for an automatic
compilation use latexmk or arara.
