Still fine.

Well the message certainly comes from Euphoria so you're getting that far
anyhow.

Which directory are you in when you run the Euphoria command?
Have you confirmed via the DIR command that the file you are trying to run
with Euphoria actually exists?

What is the exact text of the command you are typing into the DOS prompt?
What s the exact text of the message returned by the above?

The DOS Euphoria (ex.exe) assumes the ".EX" extention if you don't supply
one, while the Windows version assumes ".EXW"
