I found that gdb (tested 7.5 and 7.4) on win 32 (tested on vista) does
ignore --all as argument for the debuggee.
-exec-arguments --all
start gdb with
gdb -i mi yourexe.exe
and enter
-exec-arguments --all
-exec-run
the exe will not see the argument. It works with any other argument,
that I tested.
Does any one know why? Or how to solve?

I see the same on GNU/Linux, so it's not a Windows-only thing.

Seems like a bug to me: mi/mi-parse.c:mi_parse eats up the --all part,
probably in order to handle commands related to all thread groupd, all
inferiors, etc.

Quote it, like this:
-exec-arguments "--all"
(If the special treatment of --all is not a bug, this should be
documented, including the quoting fire-escape.)
