Not that easy to see what are commands and what are results unless you format them. I've fixed the formatting as far as I can tell. Regrettably, it's very difficult to ascertain precisely what you've actally typed - it's critical that we know exactly what happened - character-for-character. You've mistyped your question title, there's a stray m in your description, so I have some doubts about the accuracy of the remainder.

What really stands out is that in Windows, / is a switch-indicator and \ is a directory-separator. If your command actually is

Windows/system32>cd \demos\host\EvalServiceLibrary

then you are attempting to execute windows with a switch system32 and redirect the output to cd. I'm not suprised cmd's response was Que?

You typed in a prompt yourself. That won’t work. Strip the prompt:

C:\> cd \demos\host\EvalServiceLibrary
