It would appear that you have forgotten to put double
quotes around your path name, so exw is interpreting the line
as a file path followed by an extra argument: fog\test.exw.
Remember that you need double quotes whenever you
provide a path that contains blanks. This is true for exw
and for other DOS and Windows commands. i.e. you
should have typed:

  exw "C:\Euphoria\EarTest\dist\Source\Blog fog\test.exw"

(In a Euphoria open statement,  extra quotes should
*not* be used.)

I think some of your other concerns might also be related to this.
