Two things. First, do not use -nogui on Windows. You have a GUI. Second the current directory must be that of brailleblaster.jar. You can set it on the command line or you can put a shortcut to the jar file on your desktop and use the Open, Translate and SaveAs menu items. The latter approach will only work with xml files, however.
