This link gives you commands to do what you want: http://kb.wisc.edu/middleware/page.php?id=4064

Those commands should work in a Windows installation of OpenSSL.

autocompare doesn't work in Windows, and I don't really understand what numbers to compare

So, this is a wrong key, right?
From what I can see, yes.  But just be sure, you can try the commands on a known matched certificate and key to confirm you are not looking into the wrong place.
