Still it says "command failed" as you can see below.
   
  C:\Han\slide>mpost --tex=latex 2MS2

So, you should try this command:

   mpto -tex 2MS2.mp

tex-based labels in metapost are not simply created by one
program, but a number of programs called in turn. For
simplicity's sake, the relevant commands are normally hidden.
