I downloaded the "unix-style" version of auctex from

     http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/auctex-11.84.tar.gz

and followed the installation instructions (configure, make, make 
install).  I did this as a user with administrator privileges.  No 
special configuration was needed to make auctex use miktex, since miktex 
is the only version of tex I have installed.  So auctex simply finds 
miktex's executables in my path.  I did have to do a little fiddling to 
make previewing work right.  Here are the relevant lines from my .emacs:

     (load "auctex.el" nil t t)
     (require 'tex-mik)
     (setq TeX-output-view-style (quote (("^dvi$" 
"^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$" "dvips %d -o && cygstart %f") ("^dvi$" 
"." "yap -1 %dS %d") ("^pdf$" "." "cygstart %o") ("^html?$" "." 
"cygstart %o"))))
     (setq TeX-view-style (quote (("^epsf$" "cygstart %f") ("." "yap -1 
%dS %d"))))

If I remember correctly, the main thing was to take the default settings 
and replace "start" by "cygstart" in a few places.
