No, the normal version writes out this file, but Windows puts things in funny places. Someone else on the -devel list may be able to help out here.
Saving as PDF works great. Also pdf2swf.cmd works great with drag'n'drop and with command line. So the problems seems to be why pdf2swf.exe isn't receiving the pdf file.
This is probably something to do with how the command line is handled. It's be nice to see what is actually being called. Does someone know ho to do "strace" on Windows?

Inkscape puts its files in the usual Application Data dir in Windows, for me for example: C:\Documents and Settings\Johan\Application Data\Inkscape

Maybe you can try using profiling? I think it gives a call trace as well, but not sure. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Profiling (This also works on windows)

AFAIK, this should be possible with process monitor from the sysinternals

I can't find any extension-errors.log.
check the directory : C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Inkscape

Ok. I found the extension-errors.log, but it doesn't mention pdf or swf extensions.
I'll try that Sysinternals tool. Thanks.

SysInternals did the trick.
Inkscape converts swf files in temp directory. For example: E:\Documents and Settings\Juho\Local Settings\Temp\ink_ext_XXXXXXKR52BU.swf
But it won't save this file to desktop with the name I give it in saving dialog. Inkscape creates new empty file with that name and puts it to desktop.
pdf2swf is called like this: pdf2swf.exe E:\DOCUME~1\Juho\LOCALS~1\Temp\ink_ext_XXXXXXKR52BU "E:\DOCUME~1\Juho\LOCALS~1\Temp\ink_ext_XXXXXXKR52BU.swf"
When the command I use is this: pdf2swf.exe %1 "%~dp1%~n1.swf"
Temporary file name is passed to this command like this, I think. gspawn-win32-helper.exe 19 20 z 14 17 "E:\Program Files\Inkscape" y y - "E:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\pdf2swf.cmd" E:\DOCUME~1\Juho\LOCALS~1\Temp\ink_ext_XXXXXXKR52BU
How could I pass the save dialog name to second argument?
gspawn-win32-helper.exe ... - "E:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\pdf2swf.cmd" E:\DOCUME~1\Juho\LOCALS~1\Temp\ink_ext_XXXXXXKR52BU <SAVE DIALOG NAME>

The way that this is supposed to work is that the utility should output the final file to STDOUT and then Inkscape will put it in a file. This is done so that Inkscape can handle more file destinations than the local filesystem.
I don't know DOS, but the script should look roughly like this:
$ docommand <file passed in> localtemp $ cat localtemp $ rm localtemp
There is probably a problem in the .cmd file you have in that it doesn't do those last two steps.
