I had issues with the mimetypes application on Windows because it expected Unix line-endings in one of the files.  I submitted a patch for it, and if my deciphering of GitHub is correct, I think it got merged into the main branch.  (I'm not a GitHub guru, though, so maybe I did it wrong.)  Check to make sure you've got the most recent version.

Once I made that change, it did work for me, so I can confirm that it can work on Windows.

Otherwise, I can't help you.
