Try the Info program from this Windows port of Texinfo:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/texinfo-4.13a-w32-bin.zip/download

(I'd actually suggest to uninstall the Gnuwin32 port of Texinfo
entirely, including makeinfo.exe, as that port is badly broken in more
than one way, and use the above instead for any Texinfo-related job
you might need.)
