AFAICS, before your changes emacsclient -t produced "emacsclient.exe:
could not get terminal name", and emacsclient -c produced "*ERROR*:
Invalid terminal device".

See the attached backtrace (which is identical for emacsclient -c or -t).

> One more question: does emacsclient work without -c or -t on Windows?

Yes.  "emacsclient somefile" works as expected.
