I cannot reproduce this problem.

Windows batch processor doesn't support '=' in the argument.
You need to use '#', e.g. -dAutoRotatePages#/None
This works fine for me.

Both '=' and '#' are accepted on the command line:
S:\gs8.70\bin\gswin32c.exe -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dAutoRotatePages=/None -sOutputFile=870.pdf -c .setpdfwrite -f tst690703.ps
This also works fine.

The latest released version is 8.70 . Many bugs have been fixed and many
new features have been added. Please upgrade.
