Emacs works fine on Windows without the HOME environment variable set if you simply use the preferred location for the .emacs file on Windows which is in the Application Data directory.  It is only when you attempt to force Emacs to use c:\ as home by placing the .emacs file in the deprecated location c:\.emacs that you have problems.  If you do this you must either set the HOME environment variable to c:\ or use the -f {server_file_name} argument when calling emacsclient to get the Emacs server/emacsclient functionality to work correctly.
