If you replace (concat windows-program-files-dir "SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe")
with (expand-file-name "SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" windows-program-files-dir)
it should work properly (and you can even just use (getenv
"PROGRAMFILES") for windows-program-files-dir, because expand-file-name
will add a slash if necessary).
