This is not AUCTeX, but the old tex-mode, right?

`tex-buffer' expects to find information about the shell to use in
`tex-shell-file-name', the environment variables "ESHELL" or "SHELL",
or the hard-coded value "/bin/sh", in that order of precedence.  I
don't know about Windows, but you may need to put the full path to the
executable in.

You may need to have a POSIX shell, but possibly CMD.EXE will do.  If
that fails, try installing Cygwin and use bash or maybe zsh (Cygwin's
ash was deficient last I checked).
