Hi,

Leo <leoslists@letterboxes.org> was heard to say:

I use only (server-start) in my .emacs, so emacsclient per see does  
work. Apparently it can't cope with your path specification. Does  
"~/.emacsdata/server/" work? Does "~/.emacs.d/server/" work? Also, it  
seems like the directory must exist on Windows before Emacs starts up,  
see this discussion (about halfway down the page):
