Does the file hello.exe exist after you run the compiler?  I think there
is a problem with versions of Windows later than 7 and the last
compilation step.

-o has no effect with --make.  Doing "mmc --make hello" shoud
be sufficient to produce hello.exe; if it's not then something has
gone wrong.

Could you please try invoking the compiler as follows and see if it
produces a working executable:

     mmc --no-restricted-command-line --make hello
