I ran into the same problem this week.
ml.exe is the executable name of the Microsoft assembler. The error is
confusing due to the coincidence that the assember's name is the same as
the OCaml file extension. It has nothing to do with trying to execute
the test.ml file.
ocamlc was working because it doesn't need any of the Microsoft tools to
build executable programs.
The INSTALL.win32 file is a big help. Once I installed the components
it indicated, I'm able to use ocamlopt. It was challenging though to
get the windows executable and lib paths set correctly so that ocamlopt
would use the tools it was designed for. (I had several versions of
many programs that were for other unrelated purposes.) As best as I can
tell, I also had to rebuild OCaml because I was using MSVC 6 and getting
link errors. I think this was due to ocamlopt trying to combine the
released version of 3.10.0 with the run time libraries that I have which
mixed versions of the MSVC libraries.

I installed OCaml on Windows XP (the MSVC version, since I assume that's
faster than
