The syntax

set GS_OPTIONS=-dAutoRotatepages=/None

seems to work fine in Windows XP.  You need to use the set command in any
version of Windows, whereas not all UNIX-like shells use it.

If it still doesn't work, try replacing the second = by #.  That should
work.  This trick is already used (and documented to some extent) in several
of the MSDOS .bat files shipped with Ghostscript.
