Not really, no.
The code generated by mib2c concentrates on the SNMP-related
framework, which is basically O/S-independent.  It should work
quite happily with Windows as with any other O/S.

The main difference will be in the code to retrieve the underlying information
from the O/S.   This is typically different for each O/S anyway, so can't be
generated by mib2c.
   So in that sense, Windows is no different to any other system, although
this code will probably look significantly more different than comparing
various Unix-like systems.

Does it work if you specify the name of the MIB explicitly?
i.e.
       snmptranslate XXX-MIB::xxxMIB

What did you set the MIBDIRS variable to be?
Where did you copy the XXX-MIB.txt file?
What is the first line of this file?
