If it's /etc/xml/catalog (file:///etc/xml/catalog) on Linux, then for 
Windows I suggest the same /etc/xml/catalog (file:///etc/xml/catalog) 
(which looks something like \etc\xml\catalog on Windows).

But my question is a different one:

On Windows in a .bat file I have
  set SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/xml/catalog
since this works.

If I remove that line, I get

  Variable $SGML_CATALOG_FILES not set
.
I'd be happy if xmllint would look for /etc/xml/catalog so that I don't 
have to specify this variable.

But when the catalog would be somewhere else I'd have to provide the 
path to it.
If I change the line to any of
  set XML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/xml/catalog
  set XML_CATALOG_FILES=file:///etc/xml/catalog
  set XML_CATALOG_FILES="file:///etc/xml/catalog"
I also get
  Variable $SGML_CATALOG_FILES not set
.
Shouldn't XML_CATALOG_FILES eg
  set XML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/xml/catalog
work?

In my local files and in my howto
http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/
in
http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/setup.xml#xmllint
I'd like to change
  set SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/xml/catalog
to
  set XML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/xml/catalog
since what I have is an XML catalog, starting with
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
.
